TORQUAY, as we all know, is a growing community situated in a beautiful part of Victoria with the advantage of being close to the large urban areas of Geelong and Melbourne. Winter is a time when the “Outdoors” meets the “Indoors”. What better time is there to have a Literary Festival?

Everything to do with Literature
"Life is mostly froth and bubble,
Two things stand like stone,
KINDNESS in another's trouble,
COURAGE in your own."
