Mel and Susie on Tour

G'day and welcome to our website

We are Australian bush poets performing in concert halls, by campfires and at festivals around the country. Our two woman show combines original poems, yarns and great Aussie humour.

We're both Australian champion poets. We teach the craft of writing and performing bush poetry and we judge both written and performance bush poetry competitions.

We travel in an ex-library bus called 'Konichiwow' - click on the bus to check it out. Go to Find Us to find out where we are or to Invite Us if you'd like to invite us to your town.

We've just finished recording a DVD of our live show in Winton, and a duo CD. They are available now. We're working on a CD of traditional verse with Milton Taylor that will be available soon. Susie has also recorded her song / poem of 'Amazing Grace' and we are producing a compilation CD of poems of hope, faith and inspiration. There's more info in our shop.

We hope you enjoy browsing our website.

We'll be back in Winton in early May
You can book your site for next year at the Matilda Caravan Park

Congratulations to our 2012 Australian Bush Poetry Champions: Robyn Sykes and Peter Mace.

What a high standard of competition, it made it very hard for us judges. Thanks so much to Jan Lewis and her team of volunteers for a great festival. A full listing of results will be in your next ABPA magazine. If you're not already a member, join now at www.abpa.org.au

In April we were in Armidale for 2 different concerts with Legacy, a matinee on Saturday April 14 and a concert on Friday evening.

Then it's back to Queensland for a fundraiser in the Hall at the Kenilworth Showground, Saturday April 21. You can get tickets and info from Vanessa on 07 54732057

and then it's a beautiful drive back up to Winton by early May where we will perform every night until we head to the Gympie Muster on Tuesday 21 to Sunday 26 August.

In September we scoot off to Lightning Ridge to entertain at a rally and do some concerts, then we'll nip down to NSW for some concerts before we start next year in Parkes at the 2013 Elvis Festival then head off to Tamworth for 2013 Music Festival

On a personal note.....

A big hello to Andrew and Sarah who found us from Edinburgh, it was absolutely brilliant to hear from you

We'd like to say a huge thank you to Kevin and Annie for all their hard work designing and creating this site.

We'll see you down the track.
