Chris Woodland Chris Woodland has had a life-long interest in Australian folklore. While his hair was still brown he worked on outback cattle and sheep stations and maintains those earlier associations. For many years he has made field recordings (housed in the National Library of Australia) of many bush personalities, including (Aboriginal and white) drovers, shearers, isolated women, poets, songwriters singers, veteran soldiers etc. Over the years Chris has been an active member of the Sydney Bush Music Club and Monaro Folk Music Society. He has been a presenter over many years on community radio 2XX in Canberra. Now semi-retired, Chris spends his time transcribing the interviews he has made over the years and writing articles based on his collections and experiences, with occasional trips the the country "back o' Bourke'. He is looking forward to complete retirement (from paid work only) later in the year when he and his wife will shift to their few acres near Termeil on the south coast of NSW.
