Victorian author tour

Maura Pierlot

16 March 2020

What fun it was to travel to Lilydale, Victoria to watch two of my plays being performed in the Arkfest Short Play Festival – with one picking up two awards – and then starting my book tour for The Trouble in Tune Town. Enjoyed scenic stops and school visits in the Melbourne area, Great Western, the Grampians – and then COVID hit. We left western Victoria on the day the Premier declared a state of emergency. The long drive back to Canberra was surreal. Who knows how life will unfold in the coming months?
