Carnarvon Gorge Yr 9 Tour

Grassy open forests spread the scenery,
With the rain forests revealing stunning greenery;
Platypuses and turtles bathe in the pools,
This will be so much better than being at school;
Climbing rocks, big and small,
Who shall be the first to fall?
Green tree frogs croak all night,
Don’t let a spider give you a fright;
At the gorge there are so many beautiful things to see,
With colourful birds gliding in the trees;
Palm trees, green and strong,
The echo of a parrot’s song;
Each day being more exciting than the last,
Going on tour shall be a blast.
