Literary Lunch with Tracey Spicer AM

An elegant afternoon of conversation, storytelling and ideas featuring Tracey Spicer AM - one of Australia’s most respected journalists, authors and advocates for gender equality. Guests will enjoy a shared entrée platter, followed by two plated courses and a welcome glass of sparkling wine or orange juice on arrival. Tracey will reflect on her career across television, radio and print, her fearless advocacy for equality, and the insights behind her acclaimed books Man-Made and The Good Girl Stripped Bare. The event will include an audience Q&A session and book signing opportunity, offering a rare chance to connect directly with one of Australia’s most compelling voices. This special event also marks the return of the Festival’s beloved Literary Lunch, revived to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Shepparton Arts Festival in 2026.

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners, the Yorta Yorta Nation and the clans whose lands cover the area now called Greater Shepparton, the Kailtheban, Bangerang, and Ngurai Illum Wurrung. We acknowledge that First Peoples have never ceded sovereignty over their lands. This always was, and always will be, their country. We are conscious that colonial laws and practices led to displacement and disempowerment, and that they continue to do so with a profound and rippling effect. We pay respect to Elders past and present, and to emerging leaders. We value their vision and strength that enabled the continuity of culture and connectedness to country.
