Clunes Booktown Festival, A Three Day Picture-book Story

Friday, 2.00 pm, we are packed and ready to go …


Friday, 4.30 pm: The Marquees in the town’s main street are all set up, and we organize our stall in marquee “Q.”


Saturday just before sunrise our day begins, and the Festival is only a 20-minute drive away, and we meet the other vendors in our marquee.

And we met many more other Authors on our walks around the festival.


Sunday was not as busy as Saturday, so I had more time to wander around and I took some photos, trying to capture the festival and the town’s charming country atmosphere …


Sunday, 4.30 pm: ” The carnival was over,” and it was time for us to pack up shop and head back home.

G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer. I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

  2. Ivor, you documenting this adventure so well. What a wonderful atmosphere (from your photos). I loved that you took Frankie. Dogs are incredibly disarming, so I’m sure his presence led to some great chats
