To Rodeo Riders. They come from all the stations, Which are near and far between, And towns to seek their glory, For the best were ever seen. They know what is their challenge, Maybe first or second place, And the champions of riders, With a type of sour face. From the novice to the open, They all s...

Uncle Roy. He lived with us at Tamworth, When i was just a boy, A real old-time War Veteran, We called him Uncle Roy. He slept out on the verandah, His smokes and resches beer, He kept mainly to himself, And never showed much fear. He spent some time in Sydney, And Havelock Street Mayfield, Loved to...

THE ANZAC TEST 2007. Hindmarsh scored the first try, Matt King was next one in, Six nil score at half-time, For the Anzac Test to win.

A Good Old Cup Of Tea. Early morning when i wake up, Their's a brew that waits for me, It's nothing but the flavour, Of a good old cup of tea.

Western OverLand Drover. Old Dad was a western Drover, Who rode the plains far over, In the fifties and the sixties, after the second world war. Mum and Dad battled on together, Through dust and heat and weather, As the old time drovers did back years before. Yes, a drovers life has pleasures, But t...

Appleby Lane.


The morning sound of hoofbeats,
Peel River winds it's way,
Green willow trees make their shade,
Cattle graze beside it's banks!
A railway line that use to be,
deserted now from use,
Further on the sloping hills,
I ride this dusty lane.

G'day sword, a nice little piece, enjoyed it greatly. regards. Duncan.
