Archer River
It's not as good once you get there
Like dreams brought into the open,
Just red sand and a red, sluggish
River with crocs on the river bend,
But I had to wade into the water -
The Archer River in Australia,
In Far North Queensland, far, far
From a schoolboy's inky finger
On an atlas, as far as the future
Was then, now keeping a promise -
It's not as good once you get there
But you don't have to go twice.
