Notes About The Poem

The Cali's Freedom Stand

                           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 ...
