Hi Julie,
We ran into you and your 2 friends yesterday at the Brisbane Ranges (yes that large group of walkers from Koonung Bushwalking club).
I found your website and will have a look at your book. One question I forgot to ask you if you are interested in talking one night about your walks and experiences at one of our club nights (we meet the third Wednesday of each month in Templestowe). You might even be able to flog some of your books!!
Let me know if you might be interested in coming along and I will put you in touch with the person who organises our external speakers. You only need to talk to 30-45 minutes.
Cheers Ian Barr (Koonung Bushwalking President).
Hi Julie, Great blog! I’ve just started a blog to encourage people to get out into the bush with tips and advice on everything from how to pack, food and even things like ‘poos and wees’. Let’s just say, it’s practical! I want people to build confidence and get out into the bush safely. Maybe you’ll like my blog too? http://lotsafreshair.com/
I wish I’d had your book before I spent a few days in Melbourne a couple of years ago. It’s a lovely city and when I come back I’ll look for your book
Thanks so much Gabi – hopefully it will help you uncover some of Melbourne’s secrets when you come back, as it’s the sort of city which repays getting to know it slowly. J.
