Heading down the dry, dusty road
definitely the road less travelled - not a car in sight
down on the toe of the Fleurieu Peninsula
lies the Victor Harbour, the Agapanthus and geriatric capital
of the known universe
tourists come to whale watch, visit Granite Island,
the Bluff or, my favourite place
Petrel's Cove
not an appropriate beach for swimming, it has a wild rip
where the green deep-water starts
a man and his dog were safe in the shallow water
this side of the breakers,
very wise as two swimmers have already been lost this summer.
Young Kubbi, both protective and safe
I love these Lunar landscape rocks
a good place to shelter from the wind
after a hard day of sleeping in the car on a long trip,
romping on two beaches, meeting two dogs
at afternoon tea and growing into those big, big paws,
Kubbi enjoys a nap before the long trip home.
