These are the SHORT- LISTED poems.

A Bunch of Roses On Kiley's Run The Old Australian Ways

A Motor Courtship Only a Jockey The Road to Hogan's Gap

Any Other Time Over the Range The Wreck of the Golfer

Been There Before Saltbush Bill There's another Blessed Horse fell Down

Black Swans Shearing at Castlereagh They met in the Hall

Fed Up Song of Wheat When Dacey rode the Mule

Frying Pan's Theology Sunrise on the Coast The Geebung Polo Club

I Joined a Contingent The Daylight is Dying The Hypnotist

It's Grand
