The 2021 Aurealis Awards were presented at the Hellenic Club, Canberra Civic on Saturday night, 28th May. So very exciting to be mingling face-to-face again after a couple of years of online only events. Big thanks to Tehani, Jo, Nicole, Paula, Nathan, MC Craig & everyone else who made it happen. So much fun – photos here.
I attended Swancon in Perth last weekend and co-chaired the Aurealis Awards with Glenda Larke. Managed to slip in another launch for Lotus Blue, despite the fact that Stefen managed to sell all copies before guest launcher Sean Williams had a chance to utter a word. It’s always such a treat to catch up with my Perth buddies.
