How do we keep city and bush together in the 21st century?

Sunday 23 June 2024

The Woodend Winter Arts Festival action isn’t over yet! Due to a last minute reschedule during the Festival, the Sheila Drummond Memorial lecture is now happening this coming Sunday 23 June.

Don’t miss your chance to join three of Australia’s most influential writers as they lead a lively discussion on how we unite the city and the bush in the 21st century.

Join Sally Warhaft, Don Watson and George Megalogenis as they explore city versus bush – one of Australia’s oldest divides. How do we build a bridge between the two in the 21st century when our cosmopolitan capitals and parochial regional towns and country areas have never been further apart in terms of age, ethnic make-up, income and cultural outlook?

Sally Warhaft will chair the discussion with Don Watson, a country boy who lives in Melbourne and George Megalogenis, who left Melbourne just once, to work in Canberra.
