On Australia Day, we head to the outback,
Where Mudgee is a meat-cook 42 degrees, and we are forced
Into a petrol detour of 60km to the Black Stump.
Luckily, orange iceblocks improve all moods,
Enough for the singing and playing with Bandoo in the back,
And finally, at Mudgee, a dusk walk before dinner.
After tea, we walk the insect-studded shut shop windows
Watching bug haloes around the street lights,
And retreating into the moist mug of our pub room.
