Cooktown Charm
Ever heard of a ‘wet jocks’ competition? No? Neither had I until yesterday, but apparently they’re as much fun, only different, as a ‘wet t-shirt competition.’ When I made the long trek north to Cooktown to run a one day writing workshop for Queensland Writers Centre I was expecting to meet some interesting people and Continue reading
Mareeba Welcome
The National Year of Reading has opened so many doors this year and I’ve enjoyed walking through every single one of them! Thursday night I was in Mareeba chatting to the friendly folk at the library. Thanks to Wendy, Francis and the team for their welcome. I loved the display they’d put together!

Coffs and Bello
Coffs and Bello? Sounds like I’ve got a bad chest cold when in fact I’ve just had the most wonderful couple of days in Coffs Harbour and Bellingen. It started with chauffeur drive pick up from Coffs Harbour. Wagtail Cottage B&B is gorgeous, but add in the wonderful host, Jenn and Jeanette, plus Daiquiri and Continue reading
Water therapy
The last two days have been hard graft, especially since I’ve been swanning around as a writer for two weeks. Seems the universe thinks I need another career… I’ve always loved gardening and I do enjoy making a house and gardens shine, but when the real estate agent suggested cleaning the fences to make it Continue reading

Just hanging out
Apart from fighting off a cold that was doing its best to flatten me, and my webpage server having its own little unschedule break, I had a lovely weekend catching up with friends and even fitting in a couple of writerly things. Saturday morning I went to Mossman and chatted with readers and librarians as Continue reading
