Bendigo Goldfields Bush Poets book of poems and essays |
 A 150th Anniversary Tribute: Burke and Wills
This little book is a delightful collection of stories and poems with a Burke and Wills theme. The best description of what it contains comes from the Foreword written by Jack Thompson.
"What an honour ... to have had the opportunity to read so many terrific poems and stories... with the selection panel permitting a blend of fact and fiction, and allowing for a portion of the expedition to be written about rather than the whole, an outstanding and creative variety of stories and poems has flourished. The best are included in this book.... The Bendigo Goldfields Bush Poets Inc deserve a mighty round of applause for their initiative in oganising this unique commemorative project."
