Lawson
Paterson
Willow Gilvie
Charlee Marshall
Marco Gliori
Bobby Miller
Bruce Simpson
Kelly Dickson
Bob Magor
Jack Drake
Barcroft Boake
and that's just a few of the blokes!
Not too many on the NSW list fall into my category of 'Bush' Poets!
Hey, but I'm only a poor Victorian/Queenslander (Duel citizenship on the rates notices!)

Re: Un-Australian ?
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 " .

Re: Un-Australian ?
You don't get a prize Marty because you put Neville Briggs in there and he's not a proper poet.
