Pilbara Magic
Travelling through majestic rolling gorges
spirit of Eagle joins us
Amidst the ever changing colours
deep rich reds and purple hues
The peaks tower
shadows playing
Ancient guardians of the land
watching us as we pass by
Spinifex covers the
plains and gorges
of the Karijini
Welcomed by flowers
gold, blue, purple
and pinks
painting the vast expanses
of green and yellow
River gums line the water ways
of rivers and streams
that flow after big rains
Their branches white as chalk
with leaves olive green
glittering against
the arid red land and blue sky
The road like a snake
winds through the ravines
leading us into the heart
of this ancient land
