22 October 2025.
The Wollondilly Fellowship of Australian Writers has produced an Anthology of poems and short stories, entitled "Wollondilly Voices". It was a pleasure to be there for the book launch along-side the writers, authors and their supporters, and with Councillor Suzy Brandstater of Wollondilly Shire Council. The launch was held at Bonnie Cottage in Bargo on Sunday 13th October 2025. The State President of FAW (Fellowship of Australian Writers), Colleen Parker, asked an interesting question: "What's the difference between a writer and an author?" She explained that an author is a writer whose work has been published — thus everyone who contributed to this wonderful collection can now proudly call themselves authors. Congratulations to all involved in bringing Wollondilly Voices 2025 to life — a celebration of creativity and storytelling in our community. If anyone would like a copy, you can call my office, and my staff are happy to share the details.
