Event description

Did you know that the Spitfire Aeroplane was named after a woman?

Strong feisty women have always positively influenced the world around us and yet words for strong women are usually derogatory. Judy Lattas will be the convenor of a panel of some of Australia's most popular authors; Melissa Lucashenko, Donna M Cameron, Mirandi Riwoe and Michelle Upton as they discuss writing strong women in fiction, what inspires them, and how people perceive their creations.

The festival creates opportunities for an exchange of ideas and inspiration at events which celebrate our archipelago’s natural beauty.

With storytelling in community gardens, historical buildings and on boats in the bay, the festival brings people together to celebrate a love of stories, and thoughtful, environmentally aware slow tourism.
