I MIND the river from Mount Frome / To Ballanshantie's Bridge, / The Mudgee Hills, and Buckaroo, / Lowe's Peak, and Granite Ridge. / The "tailers" in the creek beneath, / The rugged she-oak boles, / The river cod where shallows linked, / The willowed water-holes.
I mind the blacksoil river flats, / The red soil levels, too, / The sidings where below the scrub / The golden wattles grew; / The track that ran by Tierney's Gap, / The dusk and ghost alarms, / The glorious morning on the hills, / And all the German farms.
