A talk by author Laura Waters on her memoir, Bewildered, which details her life-changing 3,000km hike down the length of New Zealand.
When Laura’s travelling partner pulled out on the second day, Laura was faced with tackling the enormous challenge solo. It was not only an incredible adventure but also helped overcome crippling anxiety and depression, learn confidence and self-belief, and find an authentic life path (it led Laura to quitting an unfulfilling corporate job to chase a childhood dream of being a writer). It was also an incredible demonstration of the power of nature to heal and the importance of rewilding.

Library services first began in Belmont in 1885. Our current library was officially opened on 28 October 1982 by the Hon FN Wilkes MP, Minister for Local Government and his Worship the Mayor, Cr PF Ward JP. The building was renovated in 2010 making it a modern, pleasing and community-centric library environment. The renovated library was officially opened by the Hon Richard Wynne MP, Minister for Local Government. Belmont Library is a large and busy hub within easy reach of the High Street commercial precinct.
