Bush Poets ‘Breakfast 2025

Scone Literary Weekend in partnership with the Westpac Helicopter and CWA

Join us for a heartwarming community event celebrating connection, gratitude, and the joy of sharing time together. This gathering is open to everyone, offering an opportunity to come together in support of a great cause. All proceeds from the event will go to the Westpac Helicopter, a vital service in our region that saves lives and supports those in need. Enjoy a diverse lineup of poets, from seasoned voices to fresh talent, sharing their stories and creativity. Feeling inspired? Step up and become a ‘pop-up’ poet yourself! We’ll also celebrate storytelling with the announcement of the Farmer’s Short Story Competition winner, followed by a reading of the winning tale. Fuel your morning with delicious egg and bacon rolls and treats while connecting with others in a welcoming atmosphere. Come along, share in the gratitude, and support this essential service that makes a difference in our community!

Please stay to join us for the launch of Bill Howey's book 'The Way We Were' Scone's historical tapestry 1825-2025.
