2025 Victorian Seniors Festival at the Beaufort Library

6 October to 12 October

Pop-Up Historical Society Displays and Presentations

Men of Beaufort Photo Display

Join us at Beaufort Library for a special Seniors Festival Photo Exhibition, celebrating the incredible senior men of our community.

As part of Dean Morris’ book project, The Weight of Men, he has taken portraits of nearly 70 local men — and is now reconnecting with them to hear and share their stories.

This exhibition marks both a celebration of our senior men and the future launch of The Weight of Men by Dean Morris — a powerful collection of portraits and personal stories that capture the spirit, history, and character of Beaufort’s men.

This isn’t just a book of photographs — it’s a permanent record of who we are as a community. And with all profits supporting the Beaufort Men’s Shed, it’s also a way to give back.
