Not too many on the NSW list fall into my category of 'Bush' Poets!

Where's all the women on the list Neil ? I had equal men and women in mine. No discrimination for me

Besides, the original challenge from Manfred was to name a list of Aussie Poets, nothing said about " bush " poets. and further, the ones I mentioned are all Australian and have written about Australia including " the bush " .
