At our first Storytelling Night of the year we took a deep dive into the theme of Endurance. 

We heard eight locals share their personal stories of:

• how some connections need a little endurance to bloom into something special (Cindy Thummel),

• the generosity from strangers that helps give you the endurance to cycle vast distances (Graham Jordan),

• learning that sometimes it takes less to endure the outback's wild elements than to endure a colleague's grousing (Richard Swinton),

• how William Blake's pebble and clod reminded him of a time he endured the strife of a political embargo and a jealous partner (Warwick Fry),

• pushing one's creative limit to get into the Guiness Book of Records (Maxx Maxted),

• how the lesson learnt in witnessing a majestic creature in captivity changes with distance and time (Leanne Logan),

• discovering an unlikely dwelling on a remote bush track where one could disappear (Maree Therese),

• and how an unsuspecting school teacher endured the terrorism of a pack of fiendish boys (Danny).

 

We also had the pleasure of Andra's beautiful, original songs. 

Thank you to Marie Therese for capturing the night's photos.
