Wollongong Writers Festival acknowledges the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of this nation. Our events take place on Wodi Wodi Country between Mount Kembla, Mount Keira and the sea on the South Coast of Australia. We pay our respects to ancestors and Elders, past and present.
