PART of the burgeoning arts scene on the far south coast, the new Headland Writers Festival kicks off this weekend at Tathra, with talks, workshops, readings and performances.
It’s a labour of love for creative director, singer/songwriter Myoung Jae Yi, who urges would-be visitors to “be inspired by the sublime beauty of Tathra and see the world anew”.
