Keen to witness the amazing things that can happen when art meets science here in Tropical North Queensland? Please join us in person or online at 4:30pm on Thursday June 16 to hear from the 6 writers who’ve had the privilege of engaging in the first ever writing-on-the-reef residency from June 11-17 at the Australian Institute of Marine Science in Cleveland Bay.
