Tim Winton’s Juice was everywhere in 2024

Australia went all out to celebrate the author’s first book in six years.

For literature lovers in Australia, it would’ve been next to impossible to ignore the major publishing event that was the publication of Juice.

The first book by Tim Winton in six years, the novel was launched with fanfare and events across Australia. To spread the word about his new epic story, Winton went on an Australia-wide tour that touched down in every state. From Darwin to Tasmania and everywhere in between, the esteemed author captured audiences with his call to action, urging readers to absorb the messages in Juice and do their part in preserving our natural world.

 To recap the Juice frenzy that took over this year, we’ve rounded up some of the iconic moments from the book’s launch and tour.
