Simon Hanson and Jennifer Sutherland will be the haiku editors for this issue.
We invite your best and previously unpublished haiku/senryu on any topic that stirs your imagination.
Australia, in the twenty-first century, is a vibrant multicultural society. We hope to celebrate, through the haiku/senryu collected on this website, the diversity of lifestyles, values, characters, customs, cultures, and historical experiences of the people inhabiting Australia, as well as the diversity of our landscapes, flora, and fauna. Please explore our categories for inspiration. If you choose a seasonal reference, it should be compatible with the publication’s Summer or Autumn timeframe.
This is primarily a website for the collection of the best work of Australian haiku poets. We also accept haiku from those who have visited Australia and wish to share their experiences.
Please submit your haiku/senryu on the form available on the submissions page throughout October 2025. Submissions will only be received via the submissions form. Submissions for Issue 16 have now closed.
Echidna Tracks: Issue 16 Summer/Autumn 2026 will be published on 5 January 2026.
