A WINE-DARK SEA

Maybe not quite 'My World'; it takes eight hours in a plane

To get to get from here to Perth, way in the West.

We went there on a holiday and we'll go there again,

For the trip was one we count among our best.

Rottnest Island, off the coast, is a place for holidays,

And the picture up above shows you the reason.

It's a lovely rocky outcrop full of crags and glorious bays

Perfect for fishing, never mind the season.

And the colour of the water almost took my breath away;

There was almost every shade of blue and green.

That's why I'm planning to repeat that delightful holiday,

And to savour, once again, this lovely scene.
