Karratha Backbeach

School\'s out grab giji pedal to 
the Backbeach sandhill  leave them there and go  
Beach and mangroves lungfish jump through vertical aerial roots they breathe the air 

Crabs crawl between over under in  in and out a hole
Stinking smelly mud halfway up the shin  it smells so   
  horrible

Out upon the reef about three hundred yards I\'d say it was won\'t you  
A cone shell with a colourful and tapered hard exterior that protects it from the rocks and waves some animals 

Oh look an octopus  it slithers between pools left by the receded tide it hides
away
Reef hard mud salty air
a freshening cool breeze 
it cools my neck  cools my hair

Walking back with the tide 
cockles rise  cockleshells are
even found many miles inland
many miles
Run your fingers through the mud  look cockles see how they rise to the surface when the water comes  the tide

Feet are clean but once again 
  the last few metres calf deep mud  deep mud calf deep
Back up through the mangrove shore  and flies do greet us sandflies  midgies let\'s go home to home 
Ride Home
