If tropical northern islands hold fancy and appeal,
With cooling summer breezes and a warming winter feel.
If days are short and dark
And you long for warmer clime’s
If work becomes consuming and you’re looking for the wines
If the rat race is too wearing
And the slog is hard to take
Look no further than this Nirvana
And decide to make the break
When sand through toes and balmy nights
Are there for you to go
With swaying palms, hibiscus bright and frangipani glow
And privacy surrounds
Backing on the National park
With mysterious boulders rearing high
And hoop pines tall and dark.
If the shimmering Coral Sea appeals
From a wide and timber deck
With swimming, fishing, water sports
And coral reefs on spec
Curlews, kingfishers and brahminy kites
Plus a hundred and eighty three species more
Koalas, echidnas, rock wallabies and quolls
Some inhabitants you may know
Orchids, bromeliads and gingers
Make up this wondrous show.
Limes and avocadoes in abundance
Paw paws, bananas grew
And if it is your passion
Huge veggie gardens too!
The home is cool, secluded on 4943sq mtrs of land
Two stories are included – 5 bedrooms are at hand.
It really is quite splendid in an unassuming way
The home makes no apologies for wanting you to stay
If the road is far too hard
And the journey far to long
And you kinda sorta think
This is the place you can belong
Jump on the web, then on the plane
Or just pick up the phone
Magnetic Island is softly calling
Horseshoe Bay is your new home
