Amy Walker

At this time of disconnect, there is a need to energise regional community creatives and re-connect residents.
A need to replace the fractured events landscape that regions have lost, and that so many residents, businesses, sporting clubs and community groups need. Economically and emotionally.
An opportunity to entice visitors and encourage neighbours to stop-in, explore and stay a while – and experience Queensland.
Gathering together, we create and share stories, to unite a community through imagery and connection.
We empower locals to build a thriving virtual community, that will promote the beauty of their story, their region, to those near and far.
Creating Stories is facilitated by Amy Walker of the wife creative. and supported by local businesswoman and co-author of Empowered Women, Jaimie McMillan.
