The Riverina Rocks!

Back from an amazing weekend at the Griffith Readers Festival. 
 What a fantastic weekend! Met some lovely authors and made a lot of new friends! A HUGE thanks to Collins Booksellers Griffith and the Festival committee who made it all possible- you should be so proud of yourselves! The whole weekend was such a delight and everything seemed to run so smooth and professionally.

An early morning start and beautiful day to start the second leg of our trip to Griffith.



The canola is just breathtaking almost the whole way through from Manilla and Tamworth right down to Griffith. Just fell in love all over again with the central west.

 Karen Viggers,  who wrote The Lightkeeper's Wife (fan girl moment!) in person! What a lovely, clever, beautiful person she is! How lucky am I to meet these authors? Authors, I might add, I've read before I was even published!

 Teresa and Angela from Mangia! Mangia! fame, were there to cook from their amazing new book and they were a scream!

I was lucky enough to be able to spend time (at lots of eating venues! and a rather amusing trivial night event) with the other authors who were appearing at the festival. 

Mangia! Mangia!

 Jude, Rebbeca Eldridge, and I out celebrating the Saturday sessions. We laughed non-stop for the whole trip out and back and the entire time we were there!

 Because I didn't even think to take as many photos as I should have- go to the gorgeous Tania McCartney's blog and you can read all about the weekend there!
