Award-winning journalist Heather Ewart hits the Back Roads to Ballarat to journey through her great Australian road trips.
Over a career spanning four decades, Heather Ewart has been senior political reporter and a foreign correspondent posted to London, Washington and Brussels. Raised on a farm in country Victoria, her adventures have come full circle to see her hosting ABC TV’s popular program Back Roads.
In Ewart’s new book, Back Roads: The Great Aussie Road Trip, the much-loved journalist shares hot tips from her travels around Australia. From ideas on where to go and when to go, what to pack and what to see – she covers it all.
For this in-conversation event, she will be in conversation with Emma Hall at Ballaarat Mechanics’ Institute/ Barrie Cassidy at Kyneton Town Hall to discuss the joyous moments of her road trips and share practical tips for discovering lesser-known parts of this beautiful country.
Presented in partnership with Ballaarat Mechanics’ Institute.
