Olivia Newton-John Event

Olivia Newton-John is no ordinary author. This is a woman who has toured the world, has been considered a sex symbol for more than 4 decades, survived cancer and won Grammys. Olivia Newton-John is a celebrity and believe you me, when she arrived at Shearer's on Thursday night, there was no denying her star appeal.

Olivia was in town to promote her new book Livwise, which she believes speaks to anyone who wants to live well. The book consists of recipes, many which are used at her Byron Bay retreat, Gaia.

Whilst we didn't get a tune from the songstress, we did get a great evening of terrific stories, advice about staying young and insight into her celebrity life. Those lucky enough to secure tickets for the evening had the opportunity to speak to Olivia personally and have their photo taken with the star. Many lingered long in to the evening at our cafe, just so as not to miss a glimpse.

Shearer's donated $5 from every copy of Livwise sold to the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre.
