Sept 10 - trying again, this is a brief record of my book time away, hectic but some nice times with the kids. first gladstone for five days, then home, time to fit in a farewell melbourne party on aug 17, then drove to wagga next day, visited schools all week, home for a day then flew to brisbane for a week at belmont state school. home again for three days then drove to albury to a couple days for the 'write around the murray' festival. pretty glad to be home now - packing time, i leave for wentworth and my new life on thursday- three days to go!
an advance copy of my new book arrived in time for gladstone
gladstone library put up a show of work from books and unpublished roughs by me and david legge. it was beautifully hung and good to see work on the walls that's been living under the bed for years
above - fantastic pumpkin soup served at the gladstone gallery opening. gladstone by night, even those chimneys can be beautiful. the chook is from tannum sands primary school, the kids are so proud of their flock.
