Presented by Roderick Centre for Australian Literature and Creative Writing, JCU

Take in the island open-air vibes and settle in for an intimate evening of readings by award-winning Australian writers in a relaxed open air pub atmosphere. Featuring visiting writers from JCU’s Writers on the Reef residency alongside local luminary Nicole Crowe, this event offers a chance to hear stories shaped by place and environment. Expect a warm, lively evening of literary fare: part salon, part community gathering, part celebration of writing in place. Come for the readings, stay for the conversation, and enjoy NAFA’s festival spirit in one of Magnetic Island’s most convivial settings overlooking the twinkling lights of Horseshoe Bay.
