Well you see, Booktown is actually Clunes, which is a very small town near Ballarat in Western Victoria. I live in Melbourne (in Hawthorn to be specific) so it took us about 2 hours to get there. Originally I am from somewhere further in the country than Ballarat, four hours away from Melbourne, but I moved here for university, thank god. Melbourne far outstretches my hometown in terms of awesomness!! Whereabouts in Australia are you?
it's pretty great! I felt like I had predicted the future.. purchasing Jean Rhys on the weekend resulted in their discussion of Wide Sargasso Sea. the same happened in writing class with Graham Greene! bizarre. I want a real life book club!!

I've never been to Melbourne, but it's on my list. How many hours did it take you to drive there (and where did you leave from)?
