Thanks to the generous support of the Tim Fairfax Family Foundation, The Red Room Company teamed up with the Australian Literacy and Numeracy Foundation for the annual Tennant Creek Writers' Camp. Now in its second year, the camp involved collaboration with the very remote schools of Borroloola and Tennant Creek as well as Papulu Apparr-Kari Language Centre and Barkly Regional Arts. From the 20th - 24th October, over 100 students participated in the camp with workshops led by poets Lionel Fogarty, Rosemary Plummer, Maureen O’Keefe, Luka Lesson and Dr. Philip Hall.
