Paddle with a poet on the Bellinger River
This time next week, Bellingen, Dorrigo and Coffs Harbour will be treated to three days of panels, workshops, book launches and walking tours when the 2013 Bellingen Readers and Writers Festival comes to town. The innovative and relaxed festival has been hailed by many as the best new writers’ festival in Australia.
Tickets to the festival’s most popular events such as the Poetry Slam are selling fast and festival goers are reminded to purchase their tickets now to avoid missing out. All ticket holders go into the draw to win one return flight from Coffs Harbour to Brisbane care of Brindabella Airlines and the Coffs Coast Advocate.
Other hot tickets include last year’s festival favourite Paddle with a Poet and an entirely new river event, Rap in the Rapids.
“These events provide a unique opportunity to explore the wonderful Bellinger River. No other Australian literary festival offers you the opportunity to go on a guided canoe safari and hear some of the country’s best poets at the same time,” Mr Purcell said.
