On Wednesday, November 13, The Australian Women’s Weekly hosted its first ever literary lunch in Sydney’s Potts Point.
It was a beautiful day to be harbourside and the 80 lucky readers who managed to secure tickets were in for a treat.
After some delicious food, they were treated to a speech by the inspirational Lt Col Cate McGregor, followed by a 30-minute Q+A with the man of the hour – Matthew Reilly.
Check out all the photos from the day here, and keep an eye out for our 2014 lunches which will take place across Australia.
Matthew Reilly was the guest of honour at our inaugural literary lunch.
