Day Three was a jam packed day! It started off with Jan Owen the Phillip Hodgins Memorial Winner that took the stage. This session really brought out her personality (i thought.) She seems like a polite lady with a big heart. I was quite surprised with some of her poems she read out which i think showed a bit of her naughty and humorous side. Overall it was a fantastic sessions that gave me a bit of laugh.
Emily Bitto and David Malouf took the stage with a read of their fiction books. I enjoyed Emily's book (The strays) so much that I went and brought and have not regretted! A few questions from the crowd were allowed and the authors went more into about becoming a writer and what they thought was easy and what they found difficult.
A quick 10 minute session followed with the winner of the indigenous award. Tony Birch happily presented these people with awards for their writing!
After a fantastic free (yay!) lunch provided by Stefanos, I was quite happy to hear that Les was our next author on stage. Yet again he did not let us down with some hilarious poems he shared with the audience. He concluded with his personal life such as where he writes and what his motivations are to write poetry.
After some fantastic sessions I was buggered by the end of it!
