Mr Gardner, who has to his credit books such as Burning Eddy, Gravity and White Ute Dreaming, regaled students with stories about his life and his books.
He advised students to ask themselves ‘what if’ when writing fiction and to follow where the question led them.
Beaconhills head of information services Joy Board said the writer, through his animated storytelling complete with didgeridoo playing, encouraged students to fully extend their thoughts and ideas when writing fiction.
