We have just found out that we have been chosen as a destination for the upcoming National tour of Jessica Watson.
Jessica is launching her new book True Spirit in August, she is then running around the country promoting it.
Jessica’s publisher, Hachette Australia sent out notice of the tour last month and asked for expressions of interest in having her appear in store. The team put together a proposal and we sent it off not thinking that much would come of it. That's not knocking our proposal but more thinking that it was unlikely that such a massive name would venture out to the regional areas in a hurried book launch tour.
Thanks must go to the Secondary Schools of Albany, Local media and of course Paul Terry from the Princess Royal Sailing Club for their invaluable support.
Jessica has achieved an incredible amount in a short time, i hope that we all get inspired by listening to and reading her story. Bring on 4.30pm August 13th, we can't wait!
