Sydney Writers’ Festival is Australia’s largest celebration of books and ideas, bringing the world’s finest authors and esteemed thinkers together for insightful and exhilarating conversations and discussions.
The Sydney Writers’ Festival Live & Local program offers a free livestream of Festival sessions to libraries and community centres across regional Australia to share directly with their audiences.
Endearing herself to Alone Australia audiences with her vulnerability and unflappable strength, Gina Chick fought to become the inaugural winner after 67 days in the Tasmanian bush.
In her memoir, We Are the Stars: A misfit’s story of love, connection and the glorious power of letting go, Gina traces her connection to nature, from her unconventional childhood through to her time in the wilderness, where she found solace and wisdom.
As the granddaughter of writer Charmian Clift and daughter of memoirist Suzanne Chick, Gina’s literary lineage shines through in her own memoir. Let Gina regale you with evocative stories of jungles, dancing, love and loss. With host Rosemarie Milsom.
