THE D.H. LAWRENCE SOCIETY OF AUSTRALIA

THE D.H. Lawrence Society of Australia (DHLA) was formed in 1993 with the aim of promoting interest in Lawrence's time in Australia. In 1994 we launched our journal, Rananim, which continues to the present day (see a full list of issues of Rananim, right). Membership of the DHLA is FREE, and everyone is welcome to join (Click HERE for Membeship Form). We hold regular events & excursions, and contact members by email about forthcoming events.

 

Here are some photos of past DHLA events:

The DHLA has made numerous excursions on Sydney Harbour in the former Vice-Regal steam yacht, Lady Hoptoun,
revisiting the places Lawrence went to
