The Calidonian Hotel
or the Cali or the Freedom Hotel to Aussies
a historic place in Singleton NSW Australia, a mining town
the landlord is Brad Hill, who believes in Aussie freedom
and freedom for all
its a family hotel, with good food, beer and atmosphere
oldest hotel in the district, licensed in 1949
said to be haunted
smells of perfume, a light touch
a disappearing man
voices calling but no one is there, sudden gusts of wind
but never mind all that
the Cali stands up for freedom
and those standing for freedom
freedom of choice, movement, speech, expression
freedom to work, to provide, to travel, and every other freedom
no segregation, no discrimination, supporter of United We Stand
and Freedom Australia
one country, one flag, one people united and brave
standing up to government corruption and for Aussie people
it is a breath of fresh air
an excellent example of taking a stand
for what is right with pride ...
