Emma wants to show how a portrait should be,
She sat waiting to hear; “Lights, camera, action”.
I said to her that’s only if you’re in a movie scene,
One long high-pitched howl was her only reaction.


Picture

There are a few bends and climbs for reaching this spot,
You’re trekking below trees through the sandhills.
Take your torch, much too early for morning light,
Every photoshoot requires so many skills.

Picture

Water sprays out from the echidna’s tail,
Aboriginals say it was chased here from the land.
 ‘Pooning’ the echidna is made of basalt crystal,
For many centuries to remain where they stand.


Picture

It’s scary at times when crashing waves come along,
If you’re sitting at Fingal Head for a while.
I discovered this face felt secure, felt strong,
A crystalline face and pacific smile.

Picture

A magic surf spot is Burleigh Heads,
A perfect meeting place for good waves.
All ‘round the headland there are submerged rocks,
Need a Burleigh autograph?― all signed in scrapes.

Picture

Peering from the marina to mountains in the west,
There are boats and hi-rise, blue skies over yonder.
The view is so peaceful, tranquillity at best,
Take a deep breath and let your eyes wander.

Picture

Palazzo Versace will soon have a new name,
Celebrities and such extravagance will be gone.
No more medusa branding and that taste of Milan,
Some chandeliers weigh one hundred stone.

Picture

A decade ago Hinze dam doubled its capacity,
Following heavy rain, water spread everywhere.
There was one low-lying spot,
Where I often parked my truck,
But I’ll need a boat now to get back in there.


Picture

There’s fresh water all around you,
Wild lantana grows throughout.
Mother Nature makes things hard to do,
So many challenges will leave you in doubt.

Picture

You can kayak along the water line,
‘Til this dinosaur gets in your way.
You paddle around, it’s difficult to climb,
Meet your biggest challenge of the day.

Picture

They’re friends when they are puppies,
There are times they can get in strife.
With all the love your fur baby gives,
You learn they’re best mates for life.


Picture

There was this gully named Shingles,
Along the Hinterland Highway.
A bend in the road― pretty sharp angles,
Go slow or you’ll end up in the skyway.


Picture

Everything is costing a fortune to fix,
That’s just the way it is these days.
Try out this book full of DIY tips,
So the cash under your mattress stays.


Picture

When constant traffic passes by,
It flickers past your window at night.
Time to close shutters― I trust you know why,
Both sides are hidden from sight.
