THE GRANITES OF TIBOOBURRA – NSW CORNER COUNTRY 4WD TOUR

Richard — Thu, 17 May 2012 11:32:31 +0000

THE GRANITES OF TIBOOBURRA
Faces, figures, peering out.
Is this what the Granites are all about?
Spirits hiding, changing form,
at sunset, and then at dawn.
What secrets do they hold?
Spirits talking to us
In what we behold.
Strong and silent
In their form renewed,
From whatever angle viewed.

Ode to Farina – an Old Ghan Railway town near Lake Eyre

Richard — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 03:44:08 +0000

Ode to Farina (with apologies to Dorothy MacKeller)

A God forsaken country of saltbush, rock and sand,
A climate so forbidding it crushed hopes both small and grand,

Farina Old Ghan town near Lake Eyre

At Farina, an old railway town, the history’s written there,
Stone buildings all collapsing as witness to despair.
But in the 1880’s our pioneers made a stand
and through strength and perseverance they used the rock and sand
To build a strong community that they could call their own.
And set up schools and hospitals but still the seeds were sown.
For sometimes this is not enough to save a little town
And closure of the Ghan was enough to shut it down.
And yet to recent visitors the charm is still on view
And a group of volunteers is restoring it anew.
They aim to keep the spirit of the pioneer’s half mast
And so preserve our history and connection to the past
