- It's a wonderful two days, the writers were fantastic and the paddock-to-plate dinner was outstanding. I'll definitely go next year.

- ' Writers at the Woolshed' in 2021 was an exposure to articulate authors with a range of shared experiences in the environmental landscape. All helpful in crafting my thoughts, words and actions for the role I need to play in the future of this planet. Since then, my writing has come on in leaps and bounds. The wonderful mix of authors and attendees with a connection to the environment made that event a memorable experience. Patti Miller's workshop was the turning point in my writing. I willforever be grateful for the fundamental lessons she taught me and theseeds of imagination that she planted, especially encouraging the useof all our senses in crafting our stories.

- At the previous event I enjoyed the variety of stimulating authors, their engagement with the audience and the informality of their presentations. I especially appreciated the inclusive way in which the authors conducted their outdoor workshops and generosity of their advice and commentary. Being in an intimate and beautiful setting gave me inspiration and great encouragement to continue my own work. The conviviality among former strangers brought the group together and the food and wine were excellent. From a structural, balance and organisational point of view I doubt it could have been better. I have already booked my place for 2024, if only to catch up with like-minded friends.
