Dr Don Walker addresses a UNE graduation ceremony
“My lived experience is that if you read Phantom comics for long enough, they make you a Doctor of Letters.”
UNE held its autumn 2022 graduation ceremonies on the Armidale campus from 29 April to 1 May.
Don Walker - founding member of the legendary Australian band Cold Chisel, multi-award-winning songwriter, and UNE alumnus - received an Honorary Doctor of Letters honoris causa (HonDLitt) for his services to contemporary music.
This is Dr Walker's address at a ceremony for graduates of the UNE Faculty of Humanities, Arts, Social Sciences and Education.

Don't forget to read the sky! wise n humble man....always came through in his lyrics and compositions. our greatest lyricist/poet (anybody 'unsure' about Cold Chisel should listen to their first album...in particular One Long Day and Just How Many Times...and Khe San ..and...and..)
Every word has a meaning and strung together makes the 20 minutes a learning experience from the Dr.
Wonderful speech
Brilliant!
Fabulous
