Testimonials
"A large part of the success of the Conference was the team bonding that started the event off through your Bush Poetry you very eloquently recited and entertained us with on our first evening. It was immediately clear from the atmosphere you created and the rapt attention of the audience that you are a master of your art. That wonderful Australian Poetry in that valley setting helped get the next few days off to a perfect start. We also greatly appreciated your judging of our own Bush Poetry competition and your encouragement of our amateur poets"
Richard Forrester, Insurance & Investment Division, Bendigo Bank

"You recite those great Australian poems in a way that makes them sound as if that was always the way they were meant to be heard. It was inspirational stuff..."
Murray Verso, Club President. Rotary Club of Williamstown
"The standing ovation from the almost 900 delegates to our conference was something I had not seen at a Rotary Conference before, it was a shame that your following commitment to the game of cricket did not allow you to stay for an encore; however once they had the taste for your poetry and the way it was delivered you may never have got away!"
John Davis, Distric Govenernor. Rotary District 9800 Inc
"What a pleasure it was to have you perform at our Conference Network Annual Dinner. You helped make the night a success with your recital as the Bush Poet and for this I would like to thank you. The audience was captivated throughout by your eloquently and passionately narrated poems from our great Australian heritage. "
Jennifer Hutchison, CEO. Yarra Valley & The Dandenongs Marketing
"Dressed the part, in check shirt, moleskins and a battered hat, Bush Balladeer and 'bush poet of the year' Don McQueen, had the audience alternatively entranced and convulsed as he recited rollicking rhymes about spotted heifers, bad haircuts, bush cricket and thumbnails dipped in tar. It was a magical performance and fascinating to see him rapidly re-appear in full Scottish regalia for the rest of the evening."
