ON TRACK

We tend to think 'au naturel' is always the way to go,

But take a look at our lovely Lake Macquarie!

When we came here to Australia many years ago

The edges of the lake were sad and sorry.

The Lake was a thing of beauty, as you see it is today,

But mud was a feature, as were noxious weeds;

Till some bright spark suggested a lasting remedy:

'A cycle-track's exactly what it needs!'

So we now see the retaining walls, as far as the eye can see,

Built in a truly sympathetic way,

Following every natural curve, and skirting every tree,

Enhancing every turn and every bay.

We walk along the cycle-track,( I took this photo from it),

The pleasure that it brings makes my heart glad.

Nature's beautiful, I know, but it pays us to remember

That not everything that's man-made is all bad.

A very different and very wonderful walk here:
