Melbourne landing – I escaped the volcanic ash and landed at the wet and windy airport.
Trinity Grammar Kew in Melbourne welcomed me – the boys were totally engaged in ‘I Am Jack’and by the end of the session, some leaders emerge who will act against school bullying. There were great boys at Trinity.
Met Hazel Edwards and Adele Walsh from Black Dog and the State Library of Victoria – to share writing news. Hazel represents the Australian Society of Authors; I represent the NSW Writer’s Centre and SCBWI.
Volcanic ash soars and the airport is closed. Hazel comes to the rescue with Hippo and I get dinner and a bed for the night. Yeah!
Phone calls and I luck in – I get the last seat on the Melbourne-Sydney express train. Love the train – 12 hours travelling through Australian countryside, sleeping, eating and in Sydney at 8 p.m. Great.
