Bush poets in movies and on TV

Well spotted, Heather. Lippy, yes, and stuff on my eye-brows too, I think. Even the girls were boys...but we all looked a bit like girls.

I wondered what the go was with the eyebrows but wasn't game to say anything!

This was all quite ground-breaking stuff at our school in 1966. It was the first time we had had a 'school play'. I nearly got the role of 'Tom Sawyer', but was pipped at the post. The teacher responsible for it all eventually proved too hot to handle, and got the boot. (I think that's right.)

Geoffrey Graham has been in a few more movies then those mentioned. Can't remember them all now, but the latest one I found him in was the Tasmanian Mining Disaster film 'Beaconsfield'.
