A poem for the grey nomads
ABC Alice Springs.
Tuesday, 5 June 2012.
If you drive along the Stuart Highway at the moment,
it's just one long line of white caravans headed in both directions.
With the cooler months upon us, the grey nomads are out in force.
There's queues at the petrol bowsers, and the caravan parks are full.
It inspired our resident bush poet here at the Northern Territory Country Hour Jim Spain,
to pen a few words.
Ramblin' the road that leads to everywhere is mighty good for your soul.
Do not select a particular place, have anywhere as your goal –
Then his piece 'Road to Everywhere' followed, which was put to air by our reader.
NB - Readers name added now that I know it.
