The initial idea came from committee member Pete Cahill and the weekend came to fruition with the aid of a sub-committee & the enthusiastic musicians who volunteered to lead workshops & sessions. Thanks to the Peninsular Rural Fire Brigade who assisted with ticketing & also provided excellent sausage sandwiches!
Bush musicians & singers came from Canberra, Queensland, South Australia & Victoria, as well as NSW. The NSW participants came from the North Coast, Southern Tablelands, Illawarra, Bathurst, & the Sydney participants came from suburbs & towns between the Blue Mountains & Campbelltown to Kings Cross. They ranged in age from primary school to 80s, all united in the love of Australian bush music & song.

The program ended with a session on Sunday afternoon & a song from one of our resident songwriters.
Morisset farewell by DJ - to the traditional tune Brisbane Ladies Farewell & adieu to Morisset showground
Farewell & adieu to friends old & new
For we've sung lots of songs and we've played lots of tunes
But we won't say goodbye, it is only adieu.
It's the first time for Peter to take on this new role
What a champion he's proved as no doubt you'll agree
And the whole Club committee made it all flow quite smoothly
With hot soup and sangers on bread for a feed.
There's wristbands to prove we are all quite legitimate
And the leaders of workshops all on the ball
There's the Saplings all playing to delight & entertain us
And bring down the average age of us all.
And now full of tunes our heads are a-buzzing
And hearts are glowing in friendship's kind warmth
Don't be sad as you pack up your camp & get moving
Why don't you come visit at Duke Tritton Hall?
