Australian Poets - Renewed

Since its inception Pittwater Online News has sought out and shared a few lines from Australian Poets who we may not all be familiar with on our Park Bench Philosophers page and elsewhere in each Issue, particularly if they have sung songs about Pittwater and her surrounds. Rather then returning them to the vast catalogues of silence, and since one of our main aims to celebrate and honour everything Australian, a list of these to revisit at will, as requested, follows:

Palm Beach - The Rock Pool by Ethel Turner 1926

Sands of Morning (Lion Island) by Ella McFadyn, 1935

Lake Narrabeen (lagoon) by Will Lawson and others 1892 - 1931

Broken Bay - Sydneyside Songs by Lance Fallaw 1930's
