Australian Bush Poetry Classics

12 poems written by Australia’s early Bush Poetry Masters and recited by Jack in a camp-fire style. Includes “The Man from Snowy River”. This CD was the winner of the 2011 Golden Gumleaf Award for Album of the Year.

Australian Bush Poetry has re-surfaced since our bicentennial and the movie The Man from Snowy River. Modern bush poets perform at festivals, breakfasts, dinners and are particularly popular with Grey Nomads.
