Hi everyone, welcome to the first instalment following Vivian on her travels to Australia and New Zealand.
I promised to post videos and pictures and I’ve decided to leave the videos till I’m at home or at least post in facebook, but here are some photos for you to enjoy. Since Vivian has already landed and been in Sydney for the last couple of days sightseeing on and off the buses, cruising the harbour and enjoying a personal tour of Sydney with Susanne Gervay the RA for SCBWI Aust East/NZ , I thought I would quickly show you our first night together. Catching up with fellow 12x12ers and the kidlit community along with meeting the lovely Essie White of Storm Literary Agency and some of the Storm family. (what a lovely bunch they are) Enjoy!
Roomies with Maria Marshall and Vivian Kirkfield. What a blast and so wonderful to finally meet up with my dear sweet friend and critique buddy. So looking forward to the adventures we will have over the next few weeks.

After meeting so many wonderful kidlit people we nipped out for a bite to eat at a local Thai restaurant.
Will be back with more soon. Keep an eye out for me. )
