THAT'S MY WORLD
SCENIC SUNDAY
PADDLE YOUR OWN
There are no rapids here,
White Water isn't seen!
No rocks! No waterfalls! No Thrills!
Just a very gentle scene.
For this is the Murray River
Which gently flows along
And if you came for excitement
You wouldn't quite belong.
But you can 'paddle your own canoe'
For days and days and days,
Passing the mangroves and the gums,
And the cows and sheep that graze.
The River has fallen on hard times,
Because of recurrent drought,
But still its waters benefit
The farmland round about.
