Festivals

Far North Bush Poetry Festival: BUSH BARDS REKINDLE PATERSON-LAWSON TRADITION ‘So you’re back from up the country, Mister Lawson, where you went and you’re cursing all the business in a bitter discontent’ … these words were the opening reply from Banjo Paterson to Henry Lawson’s poem ‘Borderland” and appeared in the Bulletin on the 23rd July 1892. A debate had been fuelled when Henry Lawson, after his return from the Bourke district had expressed his particular view of the outback … how its sunbaked earth was gasping like a creature in its pain and … the miles of thirsty gutters blocked with sand and choked with mud. Both men had different views of the outback and a serious of poems by both bards had a run in the then popular Bulletin newspaper. Though there was an ulterior motive on Lawson’s part in initiating the debate, as he was always short of a bob and Archibald, Editor of the Bulletin, was paying a penny a line for the verse. It kept Lawson in drinking silver until Archibald cottoned on and put an end to it. One hundred and thirteen years later the battle will continue when bush poets from all over the country will converge on the Mareeba in Far North Queensland on the 4th to the 6tht of August this year to match their wits in verse against each other at the Inaugural Far North Bush Poetry Festival. Multi award winning and Bush Laureate finalists, Chris and Merv Webster alias, Chris and The Grey, have been invited by the Festival Committee to host this years gathering of the Bards. A Bush Poetry Workshop will be conducted at the Heritage Centre starting on Saturday the 4th, August at 10.00 a.m. and go through until 3.00 p.m. Adults and children are welcome to attend and learn the art of constructing and performing bush verse. Food and drinks will be available on the site and a barbeque will start at 5.30 p.m., followed by an evenings entertainment including Chris and The Grey’s bush poetry show, Laughter and Tears From the Bush. Sunday the 6th of August will kick off with a Walk Up Bush Poet’s Breakfast starting at 8.30 a.m. [all local and visiting bards welcome to perform] and breakfast will be available on site. Then at 11.00 a.m. the battle begins with a Performance Bush Poetry competition running through til late in the afternoon. Categories include, Juniors U 12years, Juniors 12-17 years, Local over 18 years, Open Traditional and Open Original with a dollars worth of prize money and trophies up for grabs. Running in conjunction with the Festival is the Clancy of The Overflow written bush poetry competition for Juniors U12years, Juniors12-17years and Open. Trophies and prize money will be awarded on the day. Entries for both competitions and information on the Festival are available from The Co-ordinator, Far North Bush Poetry Festival, P.O.
