About The Event
A collection of stories about Burnie people. In particular, the creative ones. This is the Burnie of our dreams. The best bits of this town and the culture we hold dear.
“A book about dreaming big (or sideways, inside out, upside-down) in small places and understanding that it is unassuming towns like Burnie that can make the most wonderful, out-there artists in the country."

“Justin’s genuine affection for Burnie shines through in this part memoir / part celebration of the folk who made the town great and paved the way for others who follow. Any kid who grew up in or is growing up in a country town needs to read this!”
