Campfire Roundup is our weekly look at everything new around Country Campfire — Australian stories, bush poetry, country music, campground yarns and the voices keeping it all alive.
G’day Campfire Nation,
It’s been a quieter week around Country Campfire after a couple of busy editions, but there’s still plenty worth settling in for — fresh poetry, new music, a short story and a little Australian history.
This week brought four written poems, two music features, a short story, a history article and a new Legend page, plus Geoff Bagman’s latest podcast recital and its YouTube video.
