Australia

By the time the final eight series rolls around, Sydney has well and truly had its footy fix for the year. But there is something about grand final fever that re-ignites the spark all over again. If you are lucky enough to get a ticket for the match, expect a night of emotion and excitement. If not, pubs across town screen the match on the big screen, so grab a beverage and place a bet on the TAB if you think you have a hunch on the winner.

Not your usual Writers Festival fare of book launches and publicity power-lunches; instead this is five days and 150+ sessions examining a range of media issues relevant to today's writers, such as the legal, technical and creative sides of e-publishing, grant writing, hypertext, green text (writing for social change) and a heavy student-media content. The festival attracts not only up-and-coming talent, but also accomplished authors, and publishers and talent scouts eager to get in on the next big thing. Sessions are inexpensive or free.
