Meet the Locals

Castlemaine. It’s cold as hell and hot as it too. You need to spend a lot of time indoors. But maybe that’s why there are so many creative people here.
It’s also a wonderful community that embraces and supports the arts.
I interview local writers and artists about their practice, and what drew them to live in the area.

A wordy journey to Castlemaine: reflections on books, writing, film, family, freelancing, editing, pop culture and local culture.
