Inspiration Found in the Landscapes of the New England Tablelands
May 11, 2016
The Year 12 Advanced English class ventured over to the New England Tablelands in order to immerse themselves in the beauty of the landscape.
This area was home to Judith Wright the poet featured in Module C of the HSC Advanced English Course. By experiencing the landscape in person, students are able to better understand the aesthetic reality of the poems being studied at school.
Below are selection of student poems inspired by their experiences on the Tablelands.

“Clouds of threaded gold stitch their way across the sky through purple peach apricot and blue The tapestry of colours awash with hues The last light detached turning gold as it flees The last kiss goodnight as the stars bid good evening” – Shirley Round |
“In this moment your eyes restless and forever searching shall find themselves in the clouds Do not look away.” -Ethan Simpson |
