Straight off the top of my head, I'd think Aussie Post would insist on
Banjo Paterson and Henry Lawson, and maybe Shaw Nielsen. I'd also suggest
Chris Brennan, Kenneth Slessor, Judith Wright, John Blight, Vincent
Buckley, AD Hope, Les Murray, John Tranter, Gwen Harwood, Oodgeroo of the
tribe Noonuccal, David Campbell, Bill Hart-Smith, Kenneth Mackenzie, Bruce
Dawe, Bruce Beaver, Robert Adamson, John Forbes, Andrew Taylor, Dorothy
Porter, Tom Shapcott, Dorothy Hewett, John Kinsella (that young
whipper-snapper) ... Have I blown twenty yet?! I'd like to put in Ern
Malley (but difficult!), Nigel Roberts and Paul Kelly, too ...
Even though Peter Porter appears in our anthols, I feel it is a scam to
still call him Australian. For this exercise, anyway.
It was a nice way to start the day.

Andrew
