Frolicking on West Beach, South Australia

Though end of winter, spring awaits!

Time to pack the picnic plates

Put rug and basket in the car;

Excursion to the coast – hurrah!

 

Australia’s beaches never end…

A parking spot? No problem, friend!

Down here there’s space for one and all

To read or swim, or simply sprawl.

 

Here Tom and Isabella thrive

Their smiling faces so alive

Decked out in sunhats pink and blue

The colours tell you who is who!

 

Still young enough to learn through play

With Mum and Dad to guide their way

They too must rest on days like these

On sand - resembling crumbly cheese!

 

Here Nature rules - with no high-rise

How Cook* once saw it; a surprise!

Allowed to roam through dunes of sand

They too enjoy the Promised Land!
