Part 1
Performing some of my writing at an open mic night on 1st December 2018 in Wollombi. Always good to do something that scares/challenges/stretches you a little once a year or more! This was one of mine to close out 2018 along with camera wobbles and colour balance craziness! What’s yours?

The year is flying by and I’ve been diving into my work with the organisation ‘Off the Mat into the World’ Australia/New Zealand.
Since working with Off The Mat this year, we’ve held a teacher gathering in Newcastle where local Aboriginal Elder, Di Langham ‘Welcomed us to Country’.
