About Us

Word About Town is an independent current affairs and news style website that combines the talents and interests of thirteen young writers.

 

Our aim is to produce an informative and entertaining platform for the people of the Illawarra and greater Sydney regions, covering a wide array of community topics.

 

We aim to utilise the skills and talents of our collective to create multimedia stories, ranging from photo galleries to video productions!
