PL Travers, Mary Poppins Birthplace Statue - Paul McShane
Saturday Jul 30, 2022
Saturday Jul 30, 2022
With the Mary Poppins musical opening in Sydney, I travelled to Bowral NSW. Over a hundred years ago, the author PL Travers OBE (birthname, Helen Lyndon Goff) lived with her mother and two young sisters, after the death of their father. Extensive research has uncovered Bowral as the birthplace of the character 'Mary Poppins', providing a lot of inspiration for her books. I speak to local historian Paul McShane, who along with his daughter campaigned to have the 'Mary Poppins birthplace statue' made, that twice a year magically turns so Mary can catch the East wind. We speak in front of the statue (see it turn) and visit her home. Find out more about the connections with fellow Bowral resident, cricketer Sir Donald Bradman and check our youtube and social pages for more videos and content that can't be missed.
