A delightful story full of images of the Kimberley and one person's search for identity. Makes one want to move up into the north of Western Australia.

A street-kid saga around the old and the new in East Perth, with striking illustrations by Joanna Lefroy Capelle. The post-completion party was amazing.

Leinster SHS 
- The Green Desert
This mine school, located deep inland and halfway into the Western Australian desert, came to Perth to compete. This was a story of conflict between development and the rights of traditional owners.

A delightful story of a gang leader, a lonely derro cyclist, mother's antique shop and a sea creature off the north mole of Fremantle Harbour, with echoes of the post vietnam war recognition marches.

Corey's Group 
- A Twist in the Bend
A fascinating group from all over the Perth Metro area, a mixture of students, parents, grandparent and a 3-month old baby.

This multi-sexual love triangle mixes it with some incredible country cops around the Mundaring forests, pubs and the weir.

Westfield Writers
