The Headlands Writers Festival – A collection of books and authors
/in Books, Fiction, Non-Fiction /by Debbie WorganIs this one of the best Writers Festivals in Australia? I think so. An amazing selection of disparate authors, easy to access venues, not too crowded and a whale frolicking at the lunch hour, stretch-the-legs walk.
The big names are in the bigger hall and these sessions are livestreamed to wider audiences in libraries so bookworms who are further away from Tathra can enjoy some of the festival. I’m not sure who decides which … Read more »

There are now two recent biographies of Moorhouse. He asked his friend, journalist Catherine Lumby, to be his biographer.
