Poetry on the Boards - Saturday 9th June 2018 - just after the parade.
What would a Henry Lawson Festival be without poets? Poetry on the Boards gives people an opportunity to see a mixture of verse, be it traditional/contemporary or serious/humorous.
If you would like to have a go yourself, you are more than welcome – it’s not a competition – it’s about having a go.
The event kicks off after the parade at the Criterion Hotel. Simply approach the host; Geoffrey W Graham (he’s the bloke dressed as Henry Lawson) and put your name down; then settle back and have some fun.

All ages are encouraged – and yes, it is a family event so please choose your piece in keeping with a family friendly environment. Entries taken on the day.

Join Geoffrey at the back of the Criterion hotel for some real Aussie “Kulcha”.

It’s a one-hour event - 2.30pm to 3.30pm.
