KIMBERLEY CAMPING

When we headed out from Broome
We left behind our gloom
Striking out to the northeast
Expecting adventure at the very least
We are a gregarious crowd
Some rather quiet some quite loud
But we all get on well
And there are many stories to tell
Our leaders are sublime
Giving us all a great time
The meals were excellent
Thanks to Carmel’s management
A hardy few rolled our swags
And provided us with some mighty gags
We didn’t like the early rise
But each day was a great surprise
We walked in a beaut gorge
Gee, I can’t remember the name
Next day we saw another
It was pretty much the same

———————————-

We got up in the dark
And blamed it on Mark
We walked over rocks
Got dirty red socks
We bathed in warm springs
Did lots of fun things
We saw lots of kites
Went on helicopter flights
Stayed at a very posh station
Which gave us a sense of elation
Now, gone is the gloom
But the trip had to end
And, just a short drive now
Lies the lovely city of Broome
