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
