Writers in the Sky with James Valentine and Chris Hammer

  • Scenic World Katoomba, NSW, 2780 Australia (map)

Move over Murder on the Orient Express. Imagine being suspended high over the Jamison Valley in a cable car with James Valentine from ABC Radio Sydney and crime writer Chris Hammer. Come along for the ride and help them concoct a murder mystery as you enjoy a glass of champagne, some laughs and watch the sun set over The Three Sisters.

Entry includes a glass of bubbly, wine or soft drink, light refreshments and live music.

James Valentine presents Breakfast on ABC Radio Sydney and is also a musician with his own jazz quartet. A familiar face on Australian television, James was the movie reviewer for many years on Showtime, a reporter and commentator on shows such as Sunrise, It Takes Two, Midday, Good Morning Australia and TVTV.

Chris Hammer is a leading Australian crime fiction author. His new novel The Tilt will be published this October, just in time for the festival. The Tilt again features homicide detectives Nell Buchanan and Ivan Lucic, whom readers first met in Treasure & Dirt. Chris is also author of the best-selling and award-winning Martin Scarden series - Scrublands, Silver and Trust. Before becoming a full-time writer, Chris was a journalist for more than thirty years.

This event is supported by Dryridge Estate in the beautiful Megalong Valley.

This event is not included in the Saturday Day Pass or the Weekend Pass and tickets must be purchased separately.
