ABPA - Australian Bush Poets Association

Hello everyone,

I've been trying to find a suitable poem for my wedding in a couple of months. I have been trying to find a traditional Australian bush poem that would work as a reading. The missus is Canadian so I would like to have a traditional Canadian poem followed by a traditional Australian poem. This has been harder than I thought so I am asking for ideas.

Are there any traditional Aussie Bush poems out there that deal with love I could use??

Thanks,

Mick.

There's a short one by Victor Daley called "Song".

"Who Gives the Bride" Bob Magor

Bugger Manny beat me to it LOL


It is a cracker if you want a funny one.

Really don't suggest Who Gives the Bride for your wedding!!!!

One of the very best is As Long As Your Eyes Are Blue by the Banjo (that is if her eyes are blue!)

Do you think I do not know. Henry Lawson

Hey everyone,

Thanks for the help! Going through them carefully.

'Who Gives the Bride' has been moved to the 'back up' category

I Fell in a Pile of You and Got Love All Over Me.

Not a poem but a great country song
