Hekkuva time at the Ekka 

Published on 17 August, 2004 

Central Queensland University Press flew the flag at the biggest rural gathering in Queensland, the Ekka.

Thousands of readers and great numbers of would-be authors chewed the fat and bought Outback Books from Old Silvertail. The CQU Press stall was located in the Wool Pavilion and right next to the stage where the bush poets were performing.

PhotoID:1441 CQU Press is the publisher of bush poet Jack Drake who won the Golden Gumleaf award for his book of bush ballads, The Cattle Dog's Revenge.

CQU Press typesetter and cover designer Jane Dorrington accepted the award for the Champion Ram Merino Fleece in the Wool Pavilion on behalf of merino breeder, fiction writer and literary agent Mrs Jan Lowing of Nobby near Toowoomba.

CQU Press sold almost $6,000 worth of its Outback Books at the EKKA and handed out almost 2,000 of its free colour catalogues.

"We couldn't compete with The Flying Pig as a crowd pleaser," said Prof David Myers (pictured), "but we were right up there with Dryzabone and the Tenterfield Saddler!"
