The collective stories in Detour offer a cultural representation of the human experience of 2022/2023.

'A well-written, witty story with sharply observed details, this entry was a standout favourite with
the judges. As one, we commented on the very clever use of humour, which is an acknowledged skill in a short story. The development of the characters was well done, particularly that of Mr. Popperwell. The author’s play on words was also notable, as was the well-chosen title.' Brisbane Scribes, Judges
''This year, the competition theme was detour/s. Many entrants addressed the theme in a literal way, which gave us stories about road detour signs and physical detours. Others approached the theme through a broader lens and wrote stories about detours through life. Many of the stories shared personal journeys or detours in a memoir form. Some showed advanced skill, addressing the theme without mentioning the word. The entrants really delivered on wonderfully written short stories. Among all these, we feel that we’ve uncovered exceptional gems.' Meesha Whittam, Longlist Judge

This rug is such good quality and makes me so happy every time I look at it. I'm using this one for a top cover over my bedspread. It's a perfect match for my room and linen. I have another that I use as a throw for the lounge and a picnic rug! In LOVE.

The postage was incredibly quick and the quality and colours far exceeded what I thought. The pics don't do them justice. Truly unique rugs that I doubt will date anytime soon. I would recommend - beautiful rug and great customer service.

My husband argued with me saying we didn’t need a new blanket. Once we received this one, he quickly changed his tune. It’s cozy, soft and warm. I love the design and boho vibe it adds to our home. High quality product at an affordable price.
