Mmmm Melbourne
It’s all happening in Melbourne today.
The Inkys winners will be announced a little later (we’ll let you know) have been announced* and The Wheeler Centre has been launched. You’ll be familiar with the name Wheeler in a Lonely Planet context, but now it lives for posterity as the renamed Melbourne Centre for Books, Writing and Ideas after generous funding by Maureen and Tony Wheeler.
You can follow the Centre’s activities on twitter or subscribe to an e-newsletter from the website.
Exciting stuff – trips to Melbourne need to be longer and longer to fit all the culture in. Lucky Melburnians.

And … also in Melbourne today is the National Draft. Of little interest to many, I know, but for those of us whose beloved footy team is languishing, this is important!
