Kate Wilson won
the "Tin Billy Trophy" with "Sabotage" and Adrian Egan the "Judges
Trophy" for "Dreaming Duranillin". Henry Mosley
(aged 92!!) was again highly entertaining, this time with
his true-life story "Bush Fire" .... reminiscences of his own
near death fighting fire in the 50's. Maja Plante yarned
her way to "Highly commended" with "Where the *** is
Northcliffe"........ and five other original poets kept us well
entertained.
The graffiti wall kept kids amused, and Lucky Raffle winner Angela
Dungey Received a $500 travel voucher from Latitude travel,
Bunbury.
