Incident at Bashams Beach

Two blue parachutes in the distance
High up in the cloudy sky
Drifting erratically downwards
I must confess I thought it strange
Asked my best mate about their fate
Where could they possibly land?
We bought our lunch and decided
To go to Bashams Beach to feast
Parked upon the hill to view the ocean
We're amazed at what met our eyes
Two CFS trucks were down there
Two ambulances also gathered close
Two SES rescue vehicles in attendance
An unmarked police car parked nearby
Two grey haired gentlemen talking
Coroners called in to offfer a verdict?
Serious looks upon all their faces
Like a gathering of mourners at a wake
They milled about and then departed
The man in the wetsuit walked about
A woman drove her car up the hill
Stopped, waited for the black vehicle
Spoke a few words before they all left
We drove on down and parked our vehicle
Took a look at the glorious waves
In the bright summer sunshine
Used the huge binoculars perched there
Watched the surfers out in the ocean
Saw a man walking across the bay
Enjoyed the peace for a few more moments
Before we turned to walk away
A you man came riding quickly forward
Asked if anyone was still nearby
Said Channel Nine News had called him
Asked him to shoot some footage
Of the events unfolding down at Bashams Beach
We said "sorry you just missed them
They just left 20 minutes ago"
Couldn't find it on the news
Couldn't find it on websites...
Don't know what happened
But there was an incident at Bashams Beach
