Strangways & Surrounds: Book launch 8 November 2025

Newstead Arts Hub is hosting the launch of Belinda Prest’s recently published book, Strangways & Surrounds: Plein-air on Djarra Country, on Saturday 8 November at 2pm with Professor Barry Golding, author of Six Peaks Speak. The book has more than sixty of Belinda’s drawings from her travels around her home in Strangways beginning in 2013.

In praise of Strangways & Surrounds:

‘Belinda’s detailed pen drawings pay homage to the stately and wizened old trees, powerful vistas and markers of human presence both humble and profound, that characterise the region.
Eve Lamb, The Local

‘Her drawings are both delicate and evocative and they bear witness to the particularities of a place in time.’
Julie Gittus, author

Belinda will be signing copies of the book at the launch. It is also available at Stonemans Bookshop in Castlemaine. Cost is $50.

Everyone is welcome and refreshments will be provided.
