Campfire Roundup is the weekly look at what’s new around Country Campfire — bringing the latest poems, people, places and country stories together in one spot.
G’day Campfire Nation,
From a remote Northern Territory creek crossing to fresh bush verse and the people helping keep it alive, there’s a good spread around the campfire this week.
Ten new additions landed from Sunday through Thursday: four written poems, three Country Campfire Legend pages, one Bush Poetry Podcast episode, one YouTube recital and a campground yarn from Dashwood Crossing.
It’s a week that shows the full shape of the project — preserving the words, recognising the contributors and still making room for another worthwhile place to pull up beside the water.
This week around Country Campfire
The Campground Project
Gary Barten takes us to Dashwood Crossing in the Northern Territory, a remote creekside stop that adds another useful yarn to The Campground Project.
Keeping The Verse Alive
Four new written poems joined the archive this week, with work from Peter Pentland, Ben Eggleton, James Cayce and Narelle Stoll.
Latest from the Bush Poetry Podcast
Peter Pentland brings The Croquet Match to the Bush Poetry Podcast for episode 141.
New Country Campfire Legends
Three more contributors now have a permanent home around the digital campfire: Manfred Vijars, Peter Pentland and Narelle Stoll.
New on Bush Poetry YouTube
The video recital of Peter Pentland’s The Croquet Match is also now on the Bush Poetry YouTube channel.
