Take me home, country roads! Former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd returns to his rural Queensland hometown for the 2026 Eumundi Writer's Festival. After wrapping up his high-profile tenure as Australia's Ambassador To Washington D.C - Mr Rudd joins Clancy Overell from The Betoota Advocate on stage at the Imperial Hotel in Eumundi for live interview about his life, politics, and relationship with Xi Jinping. This is a real stroll down memory lane for both Kevin and the locals in the audience, as the global President and CEO of the Asia Society recalls stories about his barefoot post-war childhood on a dairy farm in the semi-tropical Hinterland.
