On the Road

We can’t wait to get back on the road again – bringing some of our favourite writers to regional Victoria. We’ll be packing up the car with books and authors, travelling from country to coast … and making sure Melbourne doesn’t get all the literary fun.
Raimond Gaita’s memoir, Romulus, My Father, is a much-loved Australian classic – and the subject of a multi-award-winning film. He’ll talk about Romulus, ‘a profound meditation on love and death, madness and truth, judgement and compassion’, and his recent memoir, After Romulus.
Raimond will be speaking with 774 ABC Melbourne’s Hilary Harper.
Who?
Hilary Harper
From humble beginnings as 774 ABC Melbourne’s traffic reporter, where she inserted occasional haiku into the breakfast show, Hilary Harper now presents the Saturdays morning show. From food and sustainability to relationships, pets and gardening, she explores how the little things in life reveal much about us.
Raimond Gaita
Raimond Gaita has published widely to academic and non- academic audiences. In 2009, the University of Antwerp awarded Gaita the degree of Doctor Honoris Causa ‘for his exceptional contribution to contemporary moral philosophy and for his singular contribution to the role of the intellectual in today’s academic world’.
