Barker's Creek

A place that does not change much from week to week
The brown and dry countryside of Barker's Creek
A place mostly of hobby farms few people live there
The hobby farmers have their main residence elsewhere
Yet it does have it's beauty on the higher ground
One can view the countryside for miles around
The freeway to anywhere not anywhere near
Where the flute of the magpie sounds melodious and clear
In times of el nino the creek there is dry
Barker's Creek paddocks welcome every drop of rain from the sky
In height of the summer it looks the worst for wear
The sun baked high paddocks look so brown and bare
In a place that does not change that much from week to week
The brown and dry countryside of Barker's Creek.
