OUR WONDERFUL BUS TRIP TO HOBART

Northern SWWT members attended a meeting with Southern members on Wednesday, March 23rd, at
the Moonah Arts Centre in Hobart. They first met at the Budget office opposite the airport, and travelled
to Hobart in a hired bus driven by <YRQQHVEURWKHU&ROLQ (who was a very good driver). We were
DFFRPSDQLHGE\0DULO\Q$UQROGVGDXJKWHU/RXLVH, who came along for the ride. It was a pleasurable
trip, with eight of us on board, very relaxing, with lots of conversation happening. We stopped at
2DWODQGV7KH6WDEOHVIRUmorning tea.

family. It was great to meet with our Southern counterparts, have coffee and chat. During the meeting
an amusing short story written by Jean was read, about a husband attempting to cook dinner for his wife.
Robyn Mathison accepted the Remembrance Certificate on the Crawford IDPLO\VEHKDOI We also
shared our own writings.
We had an excellent guest speaker on the day, Julie Hunt, FKLOGUHQVDXWKRUDQGLOOXVWUDWRU, who brought
along a number of her fascinating and creative books for us to look at and buy if we wished. Her book,
Song for a Scarlet Runner, won the LQDXJXUDO5HDGLQJV&KLOGUHQV%RRN3UL]HJulie has also written a
graphic novel called KidGlovz along with artist Dale Newman. This book is about a child prodigy, a
pianist whose musicDOJLIWFDQEHVWEHGHVFULEHGDVRWKHUZRUOGO\+HZHDUVDSDLURIZKLWHJORYHVDQG
when he discovers the gloves have a sinister past he begins to realise that his talent is a curse as well
as a gift.
The Moonah Arts Centre room was excellent; we shared a huge lunch to which all contributed. The
weather was good. It was a great way to spend a Wednesday.
