Join us in celebrating the Ballarat launch of Champagne at Three: The Story of a Trans Mining Engineer. Having lived the first half of her life as male, Rebecca Norton sought medical intervention to become a woman, only to find that those whose support she longed for could not or would not give it. Born in Ballarat, her career took her from the mining industry in Mount Isa to a range of jobs in remote parts of Australia and the world.

Written by her sister, Dr Jill Lee, this is the biography of Rebecca Norton. Rebecca was one of the first gender reassignment patients in Victoria in the 1970s and worked as a mining engineer before and after her transition.

All ages and everyone is welcome

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
