| - Varuna, The National Writers’ House is Australia's national residential writers' house located in Katoomba, in the Blue Mountains, New South Wales, Australia. The former home of writers Eleanor and Eric Dark, it was gifted to the Australian public through The Eleanor Dark Foundation. Due to this act of philanthropy, Varuna has become an eminent residential program for writers. Since 1989, Varuna has inspired the creation of new Australian writing and provided support for a writing community and growing alumni. Along with its Residential Program, Varuna also has a literary program, including the Blue Mountains Writers' Festival, Varuna Open Day and various workshops and consultations. Varuna is a short walk from the centre of town, and a short walk from the edge of the escarpment looking down into the Jamison Valley. In 2020, Varuna expanded its capacity to accommodate writers by building an accessible studio. This new building opens up opportunities for writers who have previously been unable to stay in residence at Varuna. (en)
