We're going deep on the Tichborne Claimant story this June and we'd love you to join us.

Family History Holidays is hosting its first Hands-on-History Experiences event in Wagga Wagga on 12-13 June 2026, featuring guest family historian Brad Argent.

There are two ways to be part of it:

📆 Friday 12 June: The Workshop.
A half-day session at the Museum of the Riverina for local heritage groups and history lovers. From $30.

📆 Saturday 13 June: The Discovery Day.
A full private day of curated experiences, local experts and good food. Includes two nights’ accommodation at The Houston. $500 per person (twin share).

No Wagga connection? No problem. Curiosity is the only requirement.

Travel to UK

If you visit the UK for less than 6 months as a tourist or to transit, you will need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA).
If you plan to stay for longer than 6 months or for reasons other than tourism, you will likely need a visa. Consult the UK Home Office for the latest rules.
Dual Australian-British and Australian-Irish citizens need a valid British or Irish passport or certificate of entitlement in another valid passport to enter the UK.
As a temporary measure, carriers (such as airlines and ferry companies) may accept certain alternative documentation to enable Australian-British citizens without a valid British passport to travel to the UK. For more details check this page
