Special Place

Never ending beaches of pure white sand
Islanders version of the promised land
Surrounded by,a sea so clear
Appreciating its beauty was no fear

Manta's jumped an whales swam by
Sharks could be seen for a far cry
Dolphins frolicked an danced all around
For this pristine place was their playground

Brahminy kites scoured the coast
Searching for a reliable host
Wallabies an roos skittled around
Always nervous as if to be found

Inland you'll find even more beauty to see
Brown lake tainted by the tea tree
Underground water filtering in
Made blue lake swimming an overwhelming sin

Its overflow part of sacred ground
From there it flows oceanbound
Through the swamp an breeding place
Of natures creatures in their space

Eighteen miles of intensity
Birds reeds an flowers to be
Amongst it all the odd swimming hole
To wash the salt an soothe the soul

From the ridges of this special place
Views can be seen that will just amaze
Sister islands an intriguing bays
Are all apart of the island ways
