I have posted a report of the 2016 Toolangi C. J. Dennis Poetry Festival on my website.
It can be found here:

The festival was once again a great success, though held under trying circumstances.

Thank you so much for this Stephen! I've posted a comment on your website.
I was especially delighted to watch the YouTube video of Joseph Galloway crafting the Marian Mayne trophy. My late Mum was an exponent of pyrography and I have several of her lovely pieces. It's a dying art.
I am truly honoured to have been judged the winner of this year's award and to see my name engraved next to last year's inaugural winner, David Campbell.
Cheers
Shelley

Isn't that an amazing coincidence, Shelley, your mother also being involved with pyrography?

Hi Stephen
Yes it is. My grandfather (Mum's father) was a timber man and the appreciation of all wood and related wood crafts really permeates our family.
Cheers
Shelley

Very much like Dennis himself, I guess.
You are familiar with this, I expect:
