Successful applicants received an honorarium, transport to and from Melbourne and Daylesford, camp-style accommodation and home cooked meals. We will also ensure there are wet weather options, as springtime in Daylesford can be inclement, but we hope much of the activity will occur outside.
Alongside some invited guests there are places available through this Open Call.
