Dreamstime Down Under

Matilda blew her didgeridoo
With wallabies hopping two by two
Some dingoes dropped by 
To eat Shepherd's pie
Then off they went with a kangaroo.

Australia

For koalas and wallabies yearning, piles of money for tourism earning, to Australia flying and on jet fuel relying, we now lose it and yell: "Oz is burning!"

Parachilna Gorge, Flinders Ranges, Outback South Australia

A track leads through a gully in the bushland
Following the least line of resistance in a haphazard plan
The kookaburras and the magpies squawk happily away
The sun on my back makes me want to stay

Walking to the rock face broken on the gorge face
Two wallabies look our way and away they race
A creek flows through glistening in the sun
The day exploring is heaven easily done.

My Walking Track

I travel 'long the winding track
Seeing mostly green, but a tree trunk black,
The orange and brown of a falling leaf,
It settles and nestles to a bush beneath,
A rocky outcrop where the wallabies bound,
The hidden tinklings of bellbirds sound,
A wispy fog emerging from a gorge,
Enveloping sheer cliffs that wind and rain forge,
It feels so good my walking track,
Although often away it always beckons me back.

Premium Member A Short Drive

A couple of 'roos
A joey standing forlorn by it's unmoving mother
A few wallabies
A brick of a wombat
An Echidna
A heap of budgies
A raven
Some pretty green grass parrots
Cockies and galahs
A baby magpie
A snake
Some frogs
Someone's cat
A stray dog
All broken
Squashed flat
Mangled
Bloated
Instant death or slow painful bleeding out
In agony 
All those battered bodies
The sadness of it all
The need for speed
Creating this meaningless road toll
And no-one seems to care
