What do orange emu, orange T-shirts and places like Ulumbarra Theater have in common? They are all related and connected with
Bendigo Writers Festival that is taking over Bendigo between 10 and 12 August.

If you are lucky enough to get yourself to Bendigo this weekend, you will be spoiled for choice of events to attend. There will be book launches and masterclasses for writers, talks and presentations, debates and shows - all under the umbrella of the slogan
Let's Get Curious.
You even might be lucky to get your books signed by some of the most famous and wonderful writers in Australia. I know who I am hunting for...
So if you are an aspiring writer or thinker, publisher or book lover, print yourself festival's program and choose events you want to attend. Mind you, there will be plenty of free events, exhibitions and presentations across Bendigo during the festival to cater for all ages and tastes when it comes to ideas and words.
