While we are all delighted with the success of our local poets who went to the Nimbin Performance Poetry World Cup, our return to Bellingen was soon met with the bad news that Pip Wilson is in hospital.

A foundation member of Bellingen poets, creator of this blog and a man of many interests and talents, Pip was airlifted to John Hunter Hospital, Newcastle, NSW, a few days ago with severe head injuries.

Encouraging news today is that Pip is showing signs of recognition of his family.
The cause of his injuries are unknown at this stage, but Bellingen police are apparently treating it as an assault.

Our thoughts are with Pip and his family.
