Event Description

Livestreamed from Sydney Writers’ Festival to Parkdale Library

Gina Chick captured hearts as the inaugural winner of Alone Australia, surviving 67 days in the Tasmanian wilderness with vulnerability, strength, and deep connection to nature.

In her moving memoir We Are the Stars: A misfit’s story of love, connection and the glorious power of letting go, Gina explores her unconventional upbringing, her literary heritage, and the transformative power of the wild.

Join us at Parkdale Library as Gina shares her evocative stories of jungles, dancing, love, and loss in conversation with Rosemarie Milsom.

Part of the Sydney Writers’ Festival livestream series - one of Australia’s most beloved forums for literature, ideas and storytelling. Be part of the experience with live Q&A, streamed directly from the Sydney stage.
