It was an Australian experience of writing in the bush, sharing with kids from many different schools, connecting with each other and the environment with sun and history and with exploration of ideas for the future.

James Roy and Richard Tulloch were joined by Steve Body a scientist from Brewongle to give an impromptu music interlude.
