Join QLF for a special summer pop-up event on Thursday 16 January, as one of Australia’s most celebrated writers, Helen Garner, talks to sports broadcaster Francis Leach about her grandson’s under-16s football team.
Yes, that’s right: the iconic Helen Garner has written a footy book.
But, as you can imagine, Garner brings to Aussie Rules her sharp eye, generous wit, and warm humour, and extends the subject to masculinity, family, weather, ageing, our bodies, team spirit, and football’s power to thrill us all.
So, wash off the sand and sunscreen and kickstart your new year with a fabulous conversation about the redemptive powers of our great game.
Join us at Queenscliff Town Hall on Thursday 16 January for 5.45pm drinks ahead of a delightful 6.30–7.30pm in-conversation.
Tickets are $25 full or $18 concession, and bookings can be made here.
We acknowledge that the Festival is held on the traditional lands of the Wadawurrung people;
we honour and pay our respects to elders past and present.
