Reference:

Greg and I would like to say thanks and thanks again for the evening of entertainment you provided for us and our campers at Coward Springs on June 30th.

We appreciated sharing your campfire and hearing your Australian songs and verse. The presentation of your verse is particularly impressive and it brought the last few campers who thought they weren't into Australian bush music and poetry straggling over to your small fire and your warm entertainment.

I enjoyed watching the faces of the audience while you sang and spoke and how by the end of the hour and a half the whole campground was sitting or sprawling comfortably on the ground listening intently and joining in with the verses.

There were quite a few children in the 'audience' and I thought they would lose interest - but there they sat, enthralled by the poetic stories and slapping their knees in time to the music.

I hope that you visit other outback campgrounds and also schools - I'm sure they would enjoy it as much as we all did.

Cheers,

Prue and Greg
