Poesis partes in primis litteris Australianis egit. Primus auctor qui poemata in Australia edidit fuit Michael Massey Robinson (1744–1826), ad poenam damnatus sed tandem servus publicus, cuius odae in The Sydney Gazettediario apparuerunt.[1]Carolus Harpur et Henricus Kendall fuerunt primi poetae ullius momenti.
Henricus Lawson, natus anno 1867, filius cuiusdam nautaeNorvegici, late agnoscitur Australianus populorum poeta, qui anno 1922, fuit primus scriptor Australianus cui erat funuscivicum. Duo poetae qui inter magnos poetas Australianos universe habentur sunt Christophorus Brennan et Adam Lindsay Gordon; Gordon quidem, "nationalis Australiae poeta" olim appellatus, est solus Australianus cui est monumentum in Angulo PoetarumAbbatiae Westmonasteriensis in Anglia. Opera Gordoniana et Brennaniana (sed praecipue Brennaniana) se ad usitatos poesis modos accommodabant, res classicas attingentia, et ergo intra genus culturae altae a criticis habentur.
