The Festival of a Thousand Stories is a celebration of storytelling, art, poetry and music on the banks of the Darling River at Bourke.<\/h3>\n

The festival has grown out of Bourke\u2019s popular Poets Trek<\/a> \u2013 a two-day experience tour that takes people on a literary journey through Australia\u2019s past in the footsteps of renowned poets Henry Lawson, Will Ogilvie and Harry \u2018the Breaker\u2019 Morant, who lived, worked and found inspiration in great, grey plains and red mulga paddocks of Bourke.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For more than 20 years, the Poets Trek has been sharing the amazing stories of Bourke\u2019s past with visitors, but a few keen locals saw an opportunity to build on the success of the Trek and create a showcase event for Bourke.<\/p>\n

So, in 2013 the Festival of a Thousand Stories was born. The name was inspired by the poem \u2018Bourke\u2019 written by local poet, the late Wilkie Davis:<\/p>\n

Bourke, author of a thousand stories,<\/em>
\nTold by the stockmen when the campfires gleam.<\/em>
\nMay you go on to greater, grander glories<\/em>
\nAnd grow and prosper by the Darling stream.<\/em><\/p>\n
