BEERWAH author Vyvyan Bloomfield will launch her second book, ‘G’day, Owyagoin’!’, at Beerwah Library on Saturday November 22, from 2–4pm.
The event is free to attend and includes refreshments, with all locals invited to celebrate the release of Vyvyan’s new collection of short stories, bush yarns and poems.
Raised in the vast, sun-hardened expanse of north-west Queensland, Vyvyan’s writing reflects the grit, humour and honesty of the land and people she knows so well. Her storytelling voice is unmistakably Australian raw, warm and wry with a knack for capturing both the beauty and absurdity of everyday life.
Now living in a retirement village, Vyvyan continues to write with energy and insight, drawing from decades of lived experience and observation.
Her new collection celebrates country life through sharp dialogue, colourful characters and stories that strike a chord,whether they make you laugh or tug at the heartstrings.
“Without Beerwah Writers, I could never have found the confidence to write,” she said. “Now I’m launching my second book, and yes, there’s a third in the making, so stay tuned.”
Vyvyan credits her husband Vic – “ever patient, coffee in hand”—as her quiet supporter through every chapter of her creative journey.
A long-time member of the Beerwah Writers Group, Vyvyan describes her work as a reflection of life as she sees it: unfiltered, open and full of heart. Each story in G’day, Owyagoin’! offers a conversation with an old friend—honest, funny and brimming with life.
