Holy smokes!

Flowers for Annie, the song I wrote for Annie Tracey, a young woman murdered in 1901 in Mungana has been nominated for the 2026 Australian Bush Ballad – Heritage Song of the Year with the 🌸 The Australian Bush Balladeers Association Inc. 🇦🇺 🥰

It was Annies tragic tale and a relentlessness need I felt to share her story is what brought me back to a dream I had long shelved.

To even have my name appear on the same page as Ashley Cook, Dean Perrett, Dianne Lindsay, and Kerri Perrett is something I never expected. I’ve long admired their work and the way they’ve carried the heart of Australian country music — so to be mentioned alongside them is an incredible honour.

This song was written straight from the heart for Annie Tracey, and it means a lot that her story has found its way to others through music.

Thank you sincerely to everyone who’s supported the song, and to the ABBA team for keeping the spirit of bush ballads and storytelling alive. Feeling very grateful today. ❤️

Happy National Poetry Day to all those who celebrate.

This year’s theme is ‘play’ so today I’m going to share a few poems which play with form or language, starting with this appropriately autumnal one, ‘The Problem of Writing Poems in the Shape of Deciduous Trees’.
