What a weekend of stories it has been.
Much has been shared on Facebook but
for those of you who couldn't be with us and who don't subscribe to that
platform, here are some photographs of both events to enjoy.
Stories by the Fire on June 30th
On Saturday
evening storytellers gathered as part of the
Newport Folk Festival. In
the Old Scout Hall, with the fire blazing and soup and chai simmering, the stories found wings.

The evening was supported by a team from Storytelling Australia Vic who not only hosted (thanks Matt McArthur), lugged lights and baked gluten free cake (thanks Kate Lawrence), tweaked soup, baked cake, buttered bread and remained unflappable in the kitchen (thanks Cameron Sharp), and crossed town in with soup and sweets (thanks Mariam Issa and Devi Palanisamy). And thank you
No Worries Curries for donating the chai.

Stories in the RAW Garden on July 1st
The cold didn't dampen the spirits of the RAW regulars. Normally
hosted by Durgah Devi Palanisamy, Dee was unavailable and Daniela
Bücheler-Scott stepped into Dee's shoes. Storytellers never shy away
from celebrating a birthday. Happy birthday Dani!
