Australia - The East Coast Road-Trip Poem by Paul Warren

Australia in the summer time
Is such a wonder and so fine
Driving from Adelaide to Brisbane in a Mini car
As the road rolls out ahead so far

There is the Murray Riverland then the Hay plain
As you count the kilometres with very little strain
The Blue Mountains on the East Coast start the upward climb
To the Dog on the Tucker-box distinguished and so sublime

Then there is Canberra with the War and Police Memorials to make you proud
And the scenery north of Sydney magnificent rivers and inlets makes you sigh out aloud
The last day on the road through the Hume Highway
With lunch at Coffs Harbour makes you feel you want to sta

The Gold Coast was our last night in 2400 k's
My Daughter, Samantha to Amberley RAAF Base for her first posting stay
And I returned to Adelaide
tired by JetStar Airways.
