Naturalist, poet and seasoned bushwalker worked for over a decade to uncover the Bundian Way, a 380-kilometre ancient pathway from Mount Kosciuszko to the New South Wales far south coast, used by both the Aboriginal people of the area and the earliest British arrivals. John collaborated with the Eden Aboriginal Land Council to survey and researching the history of the ancient pathway. Thanks to their efforts, today the Bundian Way is heritage listed. But what is it about the Bundian Way that makes it less like a walk and more like a pilgrimage? John BlayHosted by Inga Simpson

The first session from the first ever Storyfest in Milton is here and it is a doozy! All about what does go on inside the mind of a crime writer. Are they are constantly murdering people in their sleep. Or maybe they trawl the internet for hours searching for despicable inspirations. Who better to ask than three of Australia's bestselling crime writers as they reveal what draws them to write crime, the dark and the funny, with Candice Fox, Michael Robotham and Christian White. Hosted by Meredith Jaffè.
Hilarious, shocking and interesting as hell this panel will have you crying with laughter and gasping for breath. A brilliant start to an outstanding festival.
