Bush Poet • Storyteller • Contractor • Underground Miner• Butcher
Peter Flanagan is a bush poet, storyteller, contractor, underground miner, butcher and contributor to Country Campfire.
Born and bred in the bush, Peter’s poetry draws from the sort of country life that leaves dust on your boots and stories in your head. His words are shaped by contract work, travel, distance, rosters, hard country, hard yakka and the kind of memories that follow a person long after the job is done.
This page brings Peter’s poems, recitals, stories and links together in one place, giving his work a permanent home outside the fast-moving social media feed.
From Contract Work to the Campfire
Peter’s poetry sits naturally around Country Campfire because it comes from lived country experience. His words are shaped by work, travel, distance, rosters, hard country, hard yakka and the kind of memories that follow a person long after the job is done.
Country Campfire exists to preserve, celebrate and share Australian country culture, and Peter’s work forms part of that bigger campfire — one where bush poetry, working life and yarns from the road still have a place to be heard.
