Guest Speaker – Dennis Mirabella – A Lifetime in the Fishing Industry: His family connection to fishing in Hastings goes back 150 years. Dennis began working for his father before building his own boats and fishing in the open waters of Bass Strait and the Southern Ocean. In the late 1970s Dennis became involved in fishing industry politics, representing Victorian fishermen and involving himself in their safety.  He even represented Australia’s fishing industry at the United Nations. Now 90 years of age, he has published a book about his life and Dennis will speak about this.
