Australia - The Nullabor Plain And The Eyre Highway Poem by Paul Warren

In the seventies I drove the Eyre Highway
The Southern Ocean in the Great Australian Bight way
It was sealed road by then and really straight to gain
Miles of road crossing the treeless Nullabor Plain

There were lookouts to see the wide ocean views
On the top of the cliffs as the best to choose
And looking down at the bottom as the sea met
Washing the shoreline but lost and pristine yet

For there was rubbish, plastic and glass
Bobbing up and down forever to last
The road was the only sign of man
Except for the rubbish not as human plans.
