I wrote in the introduction to the Slow Guide to Melbourne that the quarterly 'mook' (half magazine-half book), Dumbo Feather, was an inspiration and it absolutely continues to be. I was invited to a DF social night in Melbourne recently and was buoyed by the camaraderie and generosity of spirit among the 50 or so people there. Visit slowly does it to read the beautiful responses evoked by a book giveaway in the new Dumbo Feather newsletter. It's a lovely introduction to the community this relentlessly positive and delightfully creative enterprise is bringing together. And the new edition of Dumbo Feather, pass it on, celebrating ordinary people who do extraordinary things, has just landed in stores and newsagents.
