James McAuley (1917 - 1976 )
Harris took the bait, published and praised the poems, and found his reputation as an editor wrecked when the hoax was exposed. McAuley founded the anti-Communist political and cultural journal Quadrant in 1956, and worked on it tirelessly until his death. Like Encounter in Britain, the magazine was supported for many years by unacknowledged funds from the CIA channelled through the Ford Foundation. Quadrant’s energetic support for a bellicose role for Australian troops in the Vietnam war was central to the right-wing cause in Australia, and alienated many of the young Australian men who were liable for the military draft. Dozens of middle-generation and older poets protested against the war, including David Malouf and A D Hope, several young poets went to jail for their anti-conscription beliefs, including Alan Gould, and by the early 1970s an entire generation (and a majority of Australian voters) had turned against the values that McAuley and Quadrant exemplified. For most of his life McAuley suffered from dreadful nightmares and he sometimes claimed to fear for his sanity. The Catholicism to which he converted as a young man helped to calm his demons. Many of his middle-period poems, such as the lengthy “Captain Quiros”, about an early Pacific explorer, are rhetorically stiff and earnest, and seem to betray the promise of his early symbolist-influenced poems, which are vigorous and bright. His later poems, though, written during his losing battle with cancer, are restrained, bleak, cleanly-wrought and very moving.

Meg Mooney (1953 - )
Meg has been writing poetry for 20 years - ever since she enrolled in a poetry workshop at a tertiary institution and found out it meant writing her own poetry, not studying other peoples'. Her poetry has had a great boost in the last four years, from having a 'free period' every week for writing, and feedback and support from the Alice Springs Writers' Group. Meg Mooney's poems often have a strong narrative and attention to detail. Meg says 'In a way I am 'mapping' this desert country and its people.'

Les Murray (1938 - )
Peter Alexander's biography of the poet Les Murray: A Life in Progress, (Oxford University Press, Melbourne, 2000), illustrates how Murray's work absorbs or reworks a wide variety of literary forms from short lyric to verse novel, points up his diverse linguistic and thematic explorations, and how his writing is underpinned by the spirit of the Australian landscape, his republican sentiment and respect for the 'bush values' of traditional Australia (absorbing his own pioneering Gaelic ancestry, and Australian vernacular culture), and his Christian belief. A large number of Murray's manuscripts and papers, and a number of oral history interview recordings, are lodged with the National Library of Australia. Film: A video, The Daylight Moon: A Film about the Poet Les Murray was produced in 1991 by Don Featherstone, and shows the poet and family at the Bunyah property and environs, and reading some of his poems.

Neil Murray (1956 - )
In 1995, Neil Murray was awarded the APRA song of the year for "My Island Home" originally written for the Warumpi Band and re-recorded by Cristine Anu. It became a huge hit for Christine whose talent was first nurtured in Neil's backing band The Rainmakers. "My Island Home" has become something of an unofficial anthem and featured in the closing ceremony of the Sydney 2000 Olympics. "Blackfella Whitefella" co-written by Neil Murray and George Rrurrambu for the Warumpi Band also enjoys anthemic status for the reconciliation movement. It has been covered by Powderfinger and Jimmy Little. More recently songs such as "Late this Night" and "Good Light in Broome" have received widespread regional and national airplay. Neil Murray performs regularly at festivals and live music venues in Australia and overseas and divides his time between his native "Tjapwurrung Country" in western Victoria and the Northern Territory. He is currently recording his fifth solo album to be released in 2003. Neil Murray's publications include: CDs: Big Name No Blankets, Warrumpi Band (Festival, 1985), Go Bush, Warrumpi Band, (Festival, 1987), Calm and Crystal Clear, (Festival, 1989), These Hands, (Mushroom, 1993, re-released independantly in 1999), Dust, (ABC Music, 1996), Too Much Humbug, Warumpi Band, (Caama Music, 1996), The Wondering Kind, (ABC Music, 2000).
