Wildflower and Trout Dreams.
Water, water everywhere in Tassie.
All the streams and dams are full........ ready for my fishing rod.
“Where the mountains crumbled and yellow desert began,
When the sun began to smoulder in a vault of indigo,
I found a pool of silent water......
With hard treeless banks,
Unmarked by any prints.
Nothing rose of course.
A kookaburra guffawed,
A mile off in the Bush,
And a gang of Eucalyptus
In tattered party dresses,
Seemed to shuffle closer,
As I reeled in slow enough
To conjour up the monster
That surely slept below. “
