Introducing DollyDot

Hi All
I would just like to introduce myself, finally! I have been following the threads online for some time. Born in Townsville and the second youngest of a large family my Mum would often recite poetry at family events and in latter years she wrote some lovely verse; hence my love of all poetry.
After work, marriage, family and study second time around, a childhood friend, Kathie Priestley, current Queensland Champion, introduced me to reciting and writing Bush Poetry. My elder sister and I then joined the Townsville Bush Poetry group and here I am. I am a real novice but love poetry both the older poems, (I love to recite The Stockman’s Tale or otherwise known as My Brother Ben and I, which my Mum recited) and the newer poems that relate to life today.
Cheers
Dot Church
PS Forgot to say I live on Magnetic Island about 20 minutes by ferry from Townsville, and the best place in the world!
