…and the red Geranium in Grass Roots


My latest magazine piece is a feature on the Bendigo based fundraising group, …and the Red Geranium.
The article features in this months issue of Grass Roots self sufficiency magazine, available at good newsagencies.

Since last week the group has already been contacted by another group of gardeners who have offered excess produce to …and the red geranium. The ABC has also been in touch to interview the organisers on a Saturday morning show. I hope my piece will continue to help the group of friends who have done and are doing so much for local charities in the Bendigo region.

Bendigo mag summer issue 2008

I am a regular writer for this magazine and have 3 stories in this bumper edition.

The people I interviewed were all fellas with different interests.

Peter has his own home pub; Warren enjoys building replicas of vintage cars – in real size and Ben is a keen and successful bare foot water skier.

So when you visit Bendigo, don’t forget to check out the magazine that gives you lots of local stories as well as info on where to shop and dine in town. It’s pretty good for only $3.50!

An interesting site for freelancers

I was just referred to this site from a newsletter issued by the Bendigo Writers Council and it looks like it could be of interest to many people considering writing for a living, or at least for some income.
Hope you find it interesting…
