Until I found this site, I didn't know much about Aussie folk music, but with the country's colorful penal-colony past, aboriginal culture, and kangaroos, how could a vibrant folk scene fail to flourish here? Whether you're new to the genre or you eat, sleep, and breathe Australian folk, there's tons of information at Folk Australia--you can read synopses and articles from Speewah and Singabout (both prominent folk publications); find info on all kinds of concerts, tours, and events in the Around the Traps section; check out the song selection of the month; and much more. While you're there, don't forget to beef up your songwriting abilities by checking out Brian Wilkins's "How to Write Bush Songs" primer at http://folk.mountaintracks.com.au/Folk_Australia/selection.html#bike .
