On Saturday the winners of the Aurealis Awards were announced, in a fabulous ceremony held at the Independent Theatre in Sydney. The awards are always a great opportunity to dress up and hang out with other Aussie sf writers, editors and enthusiasts and celebrate our local talent. It was great to catch up with familiar faces, and especially nice to meet and chat to a lot of people I’ve only met briefly before, or only through the internet.

A big congratulations to both winners and shortlisted authors. For the results pop over to the Aurealis Awards site. I didn’t take any photos but there are always a couple of people snapping away.
