HMAS Armidale

The Guest speaker at the June 2024 meeting of the Naval Historical Society of Australia – Victoria Chapter was Mr Craig Monahan, an accomplished Screen Writer, Director and Producer. Craig’s enduring interest and admiration for those involved in the story of HMAS Armidale now includes an ambition to produce a high-quality feature length documentary covering the story of the Armidale in 1942 and the many facets of this extraordinary tale that long remained hidden. His presentation deals with his quest for this story – an important part of the RAN’s wartime history – to be told more effectively to a wider Australian and international audience through the film medium.
