Sand as far as the eye can see

Possibly 150 years
Not even 2 lifetimes
Perth City looks resplendent
As out of the sand it climbs
10,000 years ago a coastal plain
Under the sea
and now a thriving city
and creatively
its high rise buildings
flourish
and where ere the traveller goes
They create a perspective
that everybody knows
Perth’s evolving daily
spreading out its wings
Climbing out onto new heights
And the excitement all this brings
to those who would seek a living
in a city built on sand
Whose farmers have the hardest
job making people understand
