A rich orange earth<\/p>\n
Gives birth<\/p>\n
to the brush<\/p>\n
Vast plains of green<\/p>\n
and a heavenly hush<\/p>\n
Clearly fire ravaged<\/p>\n
Laid black everywhere<\/p>\n
But from death and destruction<\/p>\n
Comes new life to share<\/p>\n
A red road to no where<\/p>\n
Runs merrily onward<\/p>\n
reflecting Man’s pure<\/p>\n
ingenuity and<\/p>\n
Carved out of this immense land<\/p>\n
it traverses the railway<\/p>\n
his need for he did understand<\/p>\n
The commitment was worth<\/p>\n
The back breaking ardour<\/p>\n
The blood\u00a0 sweat and the tears<\/p>\n
that were lost<\/p>\n
in the fight<\/p>\n
to maintain a route<\/p>\n
through the countryside<\/p>\n
which man s believed<\/p>\n
was his right at all cost<\/p>\n
