Stories should know no bounds and we believe that everyone has a story to tell. This is where Country Wakakirri comes in. Schools that are located more than three hours from a Wakakirri performance venue are encouraged to send in their Story-Dance, Story-Telling and/or Story-Singing entries on DVD.

Please find below the winning Country entries from 2008! Regardless of where you are, we want you to share your stories with us and the rest of Australia. Just click on the thumbnails to view each winning performance.

All first place country entries will be considered for National Prizes, these prizes will be announced during the annual Wakakirri TV Special which will screen during National Story Week in December.
