Join us at our International Women’s Day lunch in the beautiful Gandel Hall at the National Gallery of Australia.  This event will be the perfect opportunity to network with peers and celebrate women of the local property industry.

 

Hear from our keynote speaker, Sam Bloom, who is a woman with an extraordinary story to share. Sam suffered a devastating accident while on holiday with her young family in Thailand and was left paralysed from the chest down. Deeply depressed and faced with the possibility of never walking again, a chance encounter with an injured magpie chick, that the family dubbed “Penguin Bloom”, was to change her attitude, her recovery, and her life. 

 

Sam’s husband Cameron, a professional photographer, documented their experience with his images forming the basis for the international bestselling book Penguin Bloom, a collaboration with New York Times bestselling author Bradley Trevor Greive. The story has now been transformed into a major film produced by Naomi Watts, with Watts starring as Sam.
