Border Town

Oct 19. The ubiquitous brush turkey. The bloke has a bright yellow scrotum hanging around his neck. Spruiked Point Danger. Went thru a hundred. 28th parallel. Cook gets several mentions. New South Wales. Some bloke in Sydney has stoked the 'anthem' fire. My song 'Australia' needs work. Since all my files were lost in tech reck I'll post it here.

Australia, Australia, Australia
Land of a radiant sun.
Australia, Australia, Australia
Land that is our lovely home.
We your lucky people
will tend your web of life
knowing that the future
depends on all of us.
Refrain:
Rainbow lorikeet,
Frill necked lizard,
Tassie devil,
kangaroo.
Capes York and Leeuwin,
Simpson Desert,
Kosiusko,
Uluru.
Australia, Australia, Australia
Land of an ancient rock.
Australia, Australia, Australia
Land of an ancient stock.
We your many peoples
work well in harmony
building a prosperous nation
for all the world to see.
Refrain:
Widgeemoultha,
Meekatharra,
Gidgeganup,
Gundagai,
Mullumbimby,
Oonadatta,
Ulladulla,
Narabri.

The whole day in the park, surf, surfers, whales, spruiking. So many went out. Stuck heaps on cars. Must get to Byron for stickers in the mail.
