Re: THE CORRUGATED NATION
I liked that one very much Maureen. I reckon one of the best of yours. It's only my subjective view but I thought that your vice, pace, and style of delivery are perfect for the theme and didn't need any " improvement " of background music. Just one person's view.
Have you won any awards with this one, I can't remember. You should have.

Re: THE CORRUGATED NATION
That is kind of you to say that Neville - much appreciated.
Haven't even entered it into a comp so the answer is no. Have put the video link up if you are interested - some great piccys on it. Most, of the old property I lived on at Springdale - lots of corrugations there - quite a few on my forehead
Cheers
Maureen

Re: THE CORRUGATED NATION
I really applaud your poem Maureen. It has straightforward clarity in the sentences, which I think makes it. When they make me a judge I'll give you top marks.
I watched the video, very enjoyable. I like the one with the emus, We followed an emu like that up at the dingo fence back o Bourke, they can run amazingly fast.
