The decorations at the Robert Hooper Community Centre for the launch gave a real Australian character to the venue, representing the nature of Mr Beesley’s verse.
MC Anne Wilson introduced mayor Kathy Sajowitz to officially open the launch before introducing Jenn Capel, Anne Russell, Ian Gordon and Mr Beesley to read selected verses from the book.

Mr Beesley said it was a real thrill to hear other people interpret his poems as it very rarely happens.
The readings were followed by an afternoon tea while Mr Beesley signed copies of his book.
Mr Beesley wanted to thank Anne Wilson, mayor Kathy Sajowitz, Jenn Capel, Anne Russell, Ian Gordon and all those who attended who gave him a special day he will always remember.
Copies of My Country can be purchased at the Oberon Post Office or from Mr Beesley on 0407 987 535.
