Campfire Poetry

Campfire poetry, a yarn, and stories are often the most enjoyable and memorable times of our camping experiences.

Here are a few of the classic Australian poems, which you can learn and entertain both friends and family while sitting around the campfire.

If you have poems you've written or love, or know of a great campfire yarn, we love to hear from you! Why not share them with us! Cut and paste, or write you favourite poem in the form below.

The poetry of Henry Lawson and Banjo Paterson have transferred to an electronic file that you can be read on your computer. Two books of their work have been combined and can be downloaded as a pdf file here.
