Wildlife researcher on a stroll
Saves Joey* from a python hold!
Australia’s outback – perilous
Survival concerns all of us!
Flora and fauna – much unknown;
Strange creatures here hide out and roam …
Oz News seems alien, extreme,
Though wide awake, I’m in a dream.
Cold mornings when I wrap up well
Then afternoons as hot as hell;
On Brighton** beach with endless sand:
Will shark-watch helicopter land?
No lawns but couch grass, verdant, plush
Lavender, roses, bottlebrush*** …
Noisy cawing of bold birds:
What can I say? I’m lost for words!
