YOU CAN TAKE CHALLENGE 5 ON OUR FACEBOOK TOO!
We asked you to respond on our SPILL THE BEANS Facebook page to these words "I know I'm in [blank] when I [blank]"?
You sent us around the world starting in Mullumbimby, NSW, Australia...
I know I’m in Mullumbimby when I see a seventy year old man with a beard and dreadlocks smoking peacefully on a park bench.
I'm not sure where we'll end up as your entries are still coming in. So if you haven't entered yet, get cracking with the Facebook challenge or write a longer piece for our website.

Fantastic writing workshop today
Migrant and refugee stories from the Northern Beaches of Sydney
Julie Howard presented a workshop for writers who will tell the settlement stories of Northern Beaches refugees. It will be published later this year.
Would you like to be one of our writers? Or do you have a story to tell about what it was like to arrive in Australia from Germany or Russia or Indonesia or ? If so we want to hear from you.
We all should have a flashback or two!
Congratulations to Wendy Margaret on the publication of her first book Flashback!
Oh my goodness what a life!
