Ayr will soon host a special literary celebration as local author, scout leader and radio presenter Lachlan Terry launches his debut book, Memories Belonga Me.
The book is the result of more than 13 years of work and captures Terry’s personal story alongside the resilience, traditions and history of rural Australia. Part memoir and part oral history, it honours his parents and grandparents, reflects on childhood in the bush and pays tribute to the grit of country life.
Known to many through his service as a long-time Scout Leader and as a familiar voice on local radio, Terry has built his reputation on warmth, humour and community spirit. His debut work carries the same qualities, weaving together stories of family, the land and the character of regional life.
The launch event will give guests the opportunity to hear directly from Terry about the challenges and triumphs of writing, take part in book signings, and share in a morning of storytelling and connection.
The celebration is being hosted by Just Better Care Cairns/Townsville and the public are encouraged to attend.
