WELCOME TO CLUNES INTERNATIONAL BOOKTOWN
AND OUR BOOKTOWN FESTIVAL 2015
This is my first Booktown Festival as Chair of Creative
Clunes, the organising body for the festival. My role in the
past has seen me undertake many activities in the setting
up and operation of the festival, but now I am at the helm
and while still undertaking the physical work, I have the
pleasure of seeing the festival from a different viewpoint.
From its inception, the Booktown Festival has grown, we
have seen new businesses in the town open, including
book shops, the population has increased, the railway
station has re-opened, new houses are springing up in
town and the name of Clunes is becoming quite well
known. In addition to the yearly festival we have the
Sunday Selections where a noted author talks about
their work at these events held monthly through most
of the year.
Clunes is Australia’s only internationally recognised
Booktown, and we have recently assisted Featherstone,
in New Zealand, in their application to become an
international Booktown. Their committee visited us last
year seeking some background in applying for this status.
We have maintained our international contacts with
Booktowns, all being in the northern hemisphere, along
with our special role with Paju Book City in Korea.
The George Rose Korea Cultural Exchange Project
culminates by being presented at this festival. It honours
a son of Clunes, George Rose, who became an important
photographer who took photographs in Korea in 1904,
at the time of the Japanese occupation. These images
have played an immense role in the political relationship
between Australia and Korea.
Support from various government agencies, the private
sector and supporters of the literary experience has seen
this book festival develop into a major attraction in the
shire and in rural Victoria overall.
Each year we have a host of noted authors, guest
speakers, book events and along with the many book
outlets provided, we believe we cater for those who have
‘a love of books’.
We hope you enjoy this festival and when you depart, we
trust you will take with you great memories of your day, or
weekend, in Clunes.

The building was built in 1868 at a

it was sold to the Masonic body for
use as a lodge. The conversion to a
lodge involved blocking most of the
windows and refacing the Service
Street façade. It currently houses the
Clunes All Nations Masonic Lodge,

william yang
koo bohnchang
catherine croll
William Yang is one of Australia’s
greatest storytellers. A prolific
photographer, and performer of
monologues with slide projections,
his stories describe the experience
of coming to terms with his identity
as a gay Chinese Australian. His
work presents a rich and celebratory
visual record of this journey, from
the world of sexual expression
during the emergence of Sydney’s
gay community, to his personal
Chinese heritage and family
relationships. Often inscribed
with a handwritten commentary
or anecdote, a hallmark of Yang’s
works, his visual stories are infused
with a gently wry tone, mixing selfdeprecating humour with insightful
reflections on cultural identity.
Koo Bohnchang, 1953, SouthKorea, is a fine-art and conceptual
photographer based in Seoul. He
first studied Business Administration
at Yonsei University before studying
photography in Hamburg. His work
is often about impermanence, the
passing of time, the disappearance
and heritage. Koo has been called
“one of Korea’s most influential
photographers.” Not only due to
his photographic art, but also as an
educator and exhibition planner he
helped shape and promote Korean
photography to a wider audience.
Catherine is the founding Director
of Cultural Partnerships Australia
established in 2010 and has held the
position of Director Special Projects
at Red Gate Gallery since 2009.
She is a member ofthe prestigious
International Association of Art
Critics (AICA).
He released a large number of
monographs and his work has been
exhibited extensively throughout
the world and is found in public
collections as the San Francisco
Museum of Modern Art and the
Houston Museum of Fine Arts.
She has 25 years experience in
the initiation, facilitation and
management of multi-faceted
events and complex community
cultural development projects which
under her leadership promote cross
cultural awareness and bilateral
cultural exchange. Her work has
gained widespread recognition
both in Australia and China.
Catherine Croll is the curator of
the ‘In the Spirit of George Rose’
project.

George Rose was a Clunes boy who as an adult set up a
photographic business – Rose Postcards – and travelled
to Korea in 1904. There he took a series of street scenes,
his seminal work, which captured life in Korea and the
early stages of the Japanese occupation.
These images have since played an immense role
in the political relationship between Australia and
Korea. They were reproduced by the Australia Korea
Foundation (Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade)
in a commemorative book to celebrate Australia’s
diplomatic relationships with South Korea, with Australia
writer Rodney Hall AM writing the introduction and Koo

Carrie Bailee currently lives in

She is a spoken-word performer,

story to honour the capacity of the
human spirit to rise above trauma.

the severe abuse of children and
organised criminal rings exist in our
own backyards. Most importantly,
to share her message of hope and
resilience by transforming the victim
trauma story, and speak to the
possibility of what can be achieved
when we have inner drive, a sense
of worth, and the love and support
of others in our lives.
