Robert Theobald talks to a packed house at Bangalow on Friday October 15 1999

Theobald’s local legacy has more dimensions than just his writing. It is creating a network of groups in dialogue, some with quite disparate aims, and bringing people of like enthusiasms together in ‘passion cafés’. If they encourage a multitude of invisible leaders, we may see some interesting changes. (Click here for the full Byron Shire Echo obituary).
Robert Theobald was a visionary and a great humanitarian who was on the leading edge of social change for more than 40 years. He consistently argued that quality of life should take precedence over the accumulation of goods and wealth, particularly when that accumulation rested in the hands of a few, and where people were treated as objects for economic ends.
