After Wahgunyah, I traveled to Benalla for my very last Australian Children’s Laureate Follow the Dragon gig for the year. I was hosted by Benalla Art Gallery curator, Brenda Wellman.

And this is the space I presented in. I loved being surrounded by all these beautiful old paintings.

The year 3 and 4 students from St Mary’s Primary School walked to the gallery. Such fabulous students they were too with such intelligent and thoughtful questions and answers.

After my sessions I went for a relaxing walk around Benalla Lake.

It was a lovely way to finish the year.
