What time does it start?
Breakfast on the go from 7am. We start the bush poetry at 7:30am, and
finish about 9:30am. You are then welcome to spend the day at the Pioneer Village. Don't forget their tea and damper!!
I would like to do a bit more bush
poetry. What else is available?
On the day there are a couple of opportunities.
Around smoko time we will be having a bush poetry writing workshop

Wally Finch is a quick-witted comedic force, and one of Australia's most renowned bush poets, with many accolades to his name.

never dare teach with comedic-zest and great enthusiasm - drawing his
inspiration from Australian folklore, heritage and multiculturalist
traits.

this Australian bush poet extraordinaire is famous for taking home 48
awards early-on in his career and for winning 11 out of 12 poetry
competitions!
