Betty Ladd Poet Rhyme

Tasmania

Tasmania

The moment I set foot on that beautiful isle
I felt so at home I just had to smile
Like going back in time and still so pristine
My heart skipped a beat and set the scene

Such contrasting landscapes to behold
Nothing to dislike not even the cold
Windswept beaches to snow capped peaks
Fish laden lakes and mountain creeks

With rainforests among the oldest on earth
I treasured my time there for all it was worth
I knew when I left there I would come back again
I did to my new home forever to remain

Rico Leffanta January 29, 2022 at 10:26 AM I lived at 10, High Street, in Launceston, but enjoyed the wild and beautiful beach at Bicheno, but that was over 50-years ago and I would not like to see how it has changed . . . . Rico Leffanta January 29, 2022 at 8:24 PM 50-odd years ago, there was no one at Bicheno, except when visited by abalone fishermen. One of my favourite photos is of the polished stones on top of tiny sand dunes - proof that neither man nor beast disturbed them. Now I live in Hawai'i! Aloha! Betty Ladd January 29, 2022 at 3:28 PM Hi Rico, that would have been amazing - I know there has been growth in the towns and cities but I like to think that other areas are still relatively untouched - Bicheno as you know is a very popular place. I lived on the NW coast - where are you located now Rico?
