From authors Salman Rushdie and Esther Freud, to playing the organ at the Melbourne Town Hall, Philip Glass, Genevive Lacey, Audra McDonald, a special performance of Macbeth in Noongar language. And an encounter with horse riding mother-and-daughter Gladys and Quitta Docking, on the road for Bush Telegraph.
