Sighting The Castaways

CASTAWAYS




Longa
Curtain Springs,
Longa
Lasseter Highway,
Where
Tourists pass,
And pass.


Like them fellas
Of old cars
Off the bitumen
On sand
Roads to camp
In shade
As if the outback was
As it was.


Bottles
Every five
Metres
If not a can
Every two
Metres
Of hundreds
of K's
of road.
