Our book was launched by Mayor Cheryl Cook on a chilly but sunny day in Corowa, where Tom Roberts did the research for his painting ‘Shearing the Rams’.
Author Dee White and I were thrilled to hold the launch in the amazing Federation Museum in Corowa. Such an interesting museum with a whole room dedicated to the making of the painting and Susie Bourne, the little girl who posed as the tar boy.
There was a great turnout and our bookseller Booktique sold nearly 80 books, which Dee and I signed.
Dee made a launch cake and I made sheep biscuits. This feast was augmented by the wonderful museum volunteers who provided a lovely morning tea.
It is fabulous to have this book out in the world at last!
I will have autographed copies available for law, as well as greetings cards with some of my favourite illustrations.
