This just in from our correspondent at Seaworld on the Gold Coast:
SHAUN TAN'S AMAZING TALES FROM OUTER SUBURBIA WINS CBCA BOOK OF THE YEAR OLDER READERS.
Oh frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!
Congratulations, Shaun!
We will celebrate by showing off TALES in some of its finery from around the world.*
And congrats to all the other deserving winners.

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL. NOT BY ANY MEANS.
The Queensland Premier's Literary Awards shortlist has also been announced. And we are very pleased and proud that it includes:
A Small Free Kiss in the Dark by Glenda Millard
Darius Bell and the Glitter Pool by Odo Hirsch
My Candlelight Novel by Joanne Horniman
Congratulations, Glenda and Odo and Joanne!
We like the cut of your jib, Queensland**. Keep up the good work.
*We may also celebrate by drinking champagne, but that's unlikely to be as pretty as these lovely covers.
**Although that may change if you poach so much as a hair from the head of any Geelong players for your 'GCFC'.
