Take a dirt road
Go off the beaten track
Leave the city behind
Go on; get to the outback
Drive slowly up the steepest hill
Allow the dust to settle down
Keep an eye out for local wildlife
Put on your smile; leave your frown
Listen to crimson parrots calling
Climb up on high; amid azure skies
Breathe in the freshest unspoiled air
Don't forget to heave some sighs
Explore an old ruined church yard
Wander where nature stakes its claim
Surely life cannot be that hard
Watch red cheeked finches proclaim
Follow your instincts as you surrender
To many a wanderer's absolute delight
On top of the glorious coastal ranges
See a beautiful kookaburra in full flight
The glow of the sun upon the ocean
Reflected over a score of miles
Up above the crazy long weekend traffic
There we found our lost smiles
