Wetland Wanderings Book
I'm excited to announce the launch of my book "Wetland Wanderings", a palm-sized anthology of local artwork, First Nations' stories and artwork, poetry, history, and ecology.
I'm passionate about local parklands and reserves - they are the natural habitats that us urban dwellers are most familiar with.
My favourite local reserve is the Boondall Wetlands, situated on the edge of Moreton Bay in Brisbane’s northern suburbs. The Wetlands support a diversity of wildlife and are listed under the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of International Importance.
"Wetland Wanderings" is small enough to fit into the palm of your hand or pocket, making it the perfect companion for your wetlands’ exploration. It's like having a personal guide with you, but instead of just facts and figures, it tells stories and stirs your imagination. The book is made from 100% recycled paper.
Contributors to the book include: First Nations artist Lisa Anne Caruana, poets B.R. Dionysius and Andy Blythe, and artists Jen Conde and Glenda Hennig. I have edited the book as well as contributing my own artwork and writing.
Book Launch - 2pm Saturday 20 January 2024 at the Boondall Wetlands Environment Centre. Entry is free. Please come along and join the book contributors for poetry readings and an art exhibition featuring original artworks and sketchbooks. You'll get to meet the artists and writers and chat with them about their work. Plus, everyone who attends will get a free copy of the book!
For more information about the location follow this link to the launch on the Brisbane City Council website HERE.
If you can't make it to the launch and you're planning a walk at the Boondall Wetlands, please ask the Wetlands staff for your free copy (during office open hours only).
If you would like a copy of the book posted to you (Australia only), please contact me via facebook or my email: sandy_p09 [at] hotmail.com. There is a small charge of $10 pay for the postage and envelope.
