Eight 2012 Crocodile Prize Pictures

I have a dream and I am running after it at all cost. I am following it closely to improve the craft I am loving so much.

I attended this year (2012) PNG Society of Writers, Editors and Publishers in Port Moresby to meet and listen to PNG and Australian established authors and listen to their inspirational words so that I can improve in my writing.

This great competition is so supported by the Australian High Commission and not PNG government.

Australia so supports this event that is promoting PNG writers and their works thus it is the High Commission that hosts it since 2011.
