SWF Live & Local: Gina Chick: We Are the Stars

Next date: Thursday, 22 May 2025 | 12:00 PM to 01:00 PM

Join us for a powerful and deeply moving session with Alone Australia winner Gina Chick, livestreamed directly from the 2025 Sydney Writers’ Festival to Parkdale Library.

In 2023, Gina captivated viewers across the country as she endured 67 days alone in the Tasmanian wilderness, demonstrating remarkable resilience, self-reliance, and emotional honesty.

Now, in her memoir We Are the Stars: A misfit’s story of love, connection and the glorious power of letting go, Gina takes us further into her world—exploring a life shaped by nature, loss, love, and the courage to surrender.

In conversation with Rosemarie Milsom, she shares vivid reflections on her journey from a wild and unconventional childhood to her time spent in the wilderness—and the deep wisdom she found there.

This special event is part of the Sydney Writers’ Festival livestream program, bringing headline sessions from Sydney directly to communities around Australia.
