The latest issue of our sub-branch newsletter came out this week - click link in bio if you're not already a subscriber! It announces our school holiday comic workshop at Bankstown Library with Mick Elliott and Kristian Aus! 🎉🎉

Anyone know what Australian broadcaster/streaming service is screening ‘Michael Palin in Iraq’? It’s on channel 5 in the UK.

Business idea. Theme park called QUEUE WORLD where people wait in lines all day in the sun for rides that they don’t ever get closer to. Entry costs $200. More if you want to wait in longer queues.

Mount Rushmore is America's version of Castle Grayskull.

The problem with a good idea, is then you have to do it. And that's hard work. Stupid good ideas!

Looking forward to this free cartooning workshop on Friday at the Bankstown Library with Kristian Aus. It looks like a rainy day in Sydney, so come along!

A new book from @NovaWeetman is always cause for celebration! You heard it here: Australia has the best children’s book writers in the world.

Can’t think of a better way to celebrate #loveyourbookshopday than hanging out with some pals and legends of the Australian #kidlit community at gleebooks

I love when helping a fellow #kidlit author launch a new book lets me channel #RingoStarr

Can’t share yet, but just received the cover proof of my first picture book from Walker Books Australia! ☺️2023 can’t come fast enough.📚🐕

Can’t wait for this session on Saturday afternoon with Helena Fox and Allison Tait. Tickets available in Berry Writers’ Festival website!
