Trails started in Melbourne by Lachlan Conn and Michael Fikaris in 2004. 
​The idea came from wanting regular meetings of like minded people. The idea was people get together somewhere and work on small exercises. Drawing. Writing. Talking. Thinking. Sometimes there is a special guest in town, sometimes there is a coffee machine or a paper sponsor. The collected pages are then scanned and printed up as a small collection. Ideally someone will lay out the works and print them up in a small edition. At the next Trails get together you can pick up a copy.
​They have happened up in many studios and there have been 12 collections printed. Not very regular since 2009 'Trails' has a blog here 
Leftover copies can also be found in the storeroom and often come with mail orders.
