About
Join our panel as they discuss the places that are restorative, inspiring and important to them and explore the way landscape is an integral part of cultural connection and contemplation.
The three panellists are: Melissa Lucashenko, an award-winning novelist, essayist and poet whose recent novel Mullumbimby was awarded the Deloitte Queensland Literary Award for Fiction and has won the Victorian Premiers Prize for Indigenous Writing; Tenzin Choegyal, a Tibetan musician who travels the world as a solo and collaborating artist and is a Festival and Musical Director who founded the annual Festival of Tibet; and gardener Jerry Coleby-Williams who is Gardening Australia's Queensland presenter. Coleby-Williams trained at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, has previously managed the horticultural estate at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney and in late 2003 moved to Brisbane to create 'Bellis', a sustainable house and garden.
