ABPA - Australian Bush Poets Association

I missed this yesterday.

Congratulations Wazza, Brenda and Kelly and to all the other finalists.

Sounds like a great day, pity about the problems.

I've never met Fiona but enjoyed having a chat with her, she struck me as a really nice person.

Cheers Terry

You're in pretty flash company with Kelly Dixon, Wazza. He's a good mate of mine...a top bloke & a superb writer. eg. 'Leave Him In The Longyard'. Did you know his Great Uncle was Henry Lawson?

It's always a thrill to see someone who I've nudged along, getting awards. Well done & congratulations mate.

Thanks Glenny. I'd like to read the poem you've mentioned. Perhaps you could PM me with it if that is something Kelly wouldn't object to.

Wazza ? Leave Him out There In The Longyard

As sung by Slim Dusty ?

Remember to keep an eye out for this years comp around May/ April.

Wazza you are not allowed to enter

A pity but the ABC is not holding the competition this year.

Any reason why Wazza - it seemed popular I thought

Well I might just have to see if our local radio station will hold one.

Fiona's answer.

Hi Warren,
Great to hear from you.
I’m sorry to tell you that we won’t be running the competition this year…it’s a bummer but it was just getting harder for us to run it while also producing our programs.
If that changes, and it may, I’ll let you know.

Cheers for now
Fiona

G'day all,

Let's just hope the listeners (presuming they like and miss the poetry) protest long and loud.
