The first writers festival for young people in the small but mighty creative town of Newstead, Central Victoria

We acknowledge the Djaara people, their lands and waterways, their rich cultural heritage and their deep connection to Country. We acknowledge their Elders past and present. We are committed to truth-telling and to engaging with Djaara people and their representative organisations and support the protection of their culture and heritage. We acknowledge the need for social and cultural justice and support the Uluru Statement from the Heart.
