Robyn Mundy of Western Australia says of her novel in progress: ‘while this is a work of fiction, the emphasis on place is paramount… I see it as being as complex and animate a character as any human figure…’ Robyn will be in the Camden Haven in July working with Watermark Mentor, Ian Templeman. Following a writing sojourn on Maatsuyker Island south of Tasmania, she will spend 3 weeks at Varuna with Creative Director Peter Bishop. This biennial Fellowship is the result of a partnership between the Watermark Literary Society and Varuna the Writers’ House at Katoomba in the Blue Mountains. It is named for Mick Dark, son of Eleanor Dark and Dr Eric Dark, who made a gift of their Blue Mountains family home, Varuna, to Australian literature in memory of his parents.
