Sophie York is on a regional tour which also includes Bega, Goulburn, Gerroa and Newcastle.

"They're not being taught that the British heritage gave us equality before the law, parliament, literature, manners, music and engineering," she said.

Ms York will speak and host a question and answer session at the Exies Sports Club at 1pm on Wednesday, April 24.
