IT was a fantastic turnout for last Friday’s (October 18) fundraiser for the Maleny Community Centre, featuring a screening of the incredible award winning documentary
‘The Great White Whale.’ Filmmaker Michael Dillon was in attendance and shared some of the fascinating backstory about “one of the least known yet most audacious Australian adventures of the 20th century.”
The film follows the 1965 expedition led by Warwick Deacock, a former President of the Maleny Community Centre, as a group of men climbed Australia’s highest mountain, the icebound active volcano of Big Ben on sub-Antarctic Heard Island.
An inspiring evening!
