The Nebo Bush Poet’s Smoko 2025 drew a strong crowd earlier this month, with 105 people gathering to celebrate the art of storytelling through rhyme and verse.
The event featured 21 performers, who entertained with a mix of heartfelt reflections, witty tall tales and traditional bush poetry that resonated with the spirit of the outback.
The morning’s program highlighted both seasoned poets and emerging voices, giving audiences a taste of the rich diversity within the bush poetry community.
Between performances, attendees enjoyed a classic smoko, adding to the relaxed and distinctly regional atmosphere of the gathering.
Organisers said the turnout reflected the enduring popularity of bush poetry as a unique cultural tradition that continues to connect communities across the outback.
