Write from the Word Go Archive
This is a collection of entries for a competition run by the 4QN radio programme, 'Write from the word go'. The concept for the programme, which started in early 1975 and lasted until mid-1979, came from Joan Davis, a local poet, following the demise of the Townsville Writers' Group. Davis also compered the programme for the first twelve months and was followed by Lesley Daniell. The final compere, Robert Handicott, took over at the end of 1977 and remained until the programme’s final session in mid-1979.
