AUSTRALIAN IDENTITY: Iconic Poetry

Poems you can't live without from Australia's literary treasure chest! Australian poets have a wonderful way with words and their poems bring to life the iconic Aussie characters and unforgettable landscape that are part of our Australian heritage. Many of these - Mulga Bill, Clancy of the Overflow, The Ant Explorer, M'Dougal, The Shearer's Wife and Mr Smith - are larger than life.

The most comprehensive and definitive collection of Australian rhymed verse ever published in one volume, featuring hundreds of classics from writers such as Henry Lawson, Banjo Paterson, Will Ogilvie, Mary Gilmore, alongside contemporary writers including Bruce Simpson, Ted Egan, Oodgeroo Noonuccal and Eric Bogle.
