McGowan's Island

McGowan’s Island
Oh how we love camping at Kalumburu
McGowan’s Island with ocean view
The hills across the shore
Reflect the glories
Of the dawning light
The glassy ocean
Mirrors dawns’
Gleaming new light
The campers
Fishing on rocky outcrops
Spoils divided on the spot
George
With his bucket
Fetching bait for all
Taking tours
The oysters are great
Fish of all kinds
Emerge from the sea
People from places
All over
Camp beside me
Exchange of tales
Of toil and travel
Delight and detain us
Til winds of fire
Blow us back
Down the Gibb River Road
