The Absolution Creek tour kicks off next monday 3rd September in QLD. This year I’ll be covering a lot of the state just over the border from me and I’m looking forward to visiting some new places. I’ll also be travelling through NSW and Victoria, with South Australia deferred to next year when I have a little more time. My previous two tours (2010 – The Bark Cutters and 2011 – A Changing Land ) saw me covering a lot of territory within NSW which is why my dates are limited in this region. The first three weeks of the tour are listed below however I will also be doing a library tour of Far North QLD libraries in the fourth week of September and I’ll be finishing up at the Stanton Library in North Sydney on the first tuesday following the October long weekend. The last eight days of the tour will be added later this week. Hope to see you at some of these terrific venues! If we won’t be crossing paths anytime soon, you can follow my travels via cyberspace. If you’re a ‘tweeter’ on Twitter, simply type in #AbsolutionCreekTour in the search section to see what adventures I’m having. Similarly I’ll be posting pics and other ramblings on my facebook page. Happy trails …
