Nambucca Heads Estuary

 This also goes back to 2010 and I may have entered it in the Your Town Your Song competition. I've never played this but it would not be hard. I also plagiarized one of my early songs called "Santa Rides a Moped." to perform it.


NAMBUCCA HEADS ESTUARY


It's the holiday season and nobody is freezin'

Nambucca Heads is in the sun

Tourist everywhere and lovely fresh air

Everybody's having so much fun

A river filled with fish, Oysters make a wish

Banana Pancakes are alright

Friendly folks smile, play golf on the Isle

With a fishermen's appetite


I'm happy!

Surrounded by this gorgeous scenery

Never a moment gets dull

Just look at the seagulls

At the Nambucca Heads estuary


When I first arrived, I was feeling tired

From driving on highway one

They were welcoming guest, North south and west

The Resort was so much fun

I'm telling you, their were crabs on the barbecue

We were all singin' along

I met a fella called Errol and some lovely people

They were from Dongdingalong


I'm happy!

Surrounded by this gorgeous scenery

Never a moment gets dull

Just look at the seagulls

At the Nambucca Heads estuary


I step out my car with a tuned guitar

Hat protecting me from the sun

Surf board on the roof no time to be aloof

I've got to improvise and I'm going to have fun

Wildlife to glance if you don't want to dance

The Forest Scent is euphoric

There is even a Ghost in this town on the coast

Where wrecks unleash stories so tragic


I'm happy!

Surrounded by this gorgeous scenery

Never a gets moment dull

Just look at the seagulls

At the Nambucca Heads estuary

A Maritime Union Story

  The CFMEU are in the news for the wrong reason again. I’ve not been following what's going on but I know there must be more to the story than what I've been hearing. I was a member of the Textile Workers Union, Federated Liquor and Allied Industries Employees' Union, and the Federated Ironworker’s Association before I entered the Maritime Industry. When I entered the Maritime Industry I joined the Marine Cooks, Bakers and Butchers' Association of Australia. In 1983 we amalgamated with the Seamen's Union of Australia and in 1988 amalgamated with the Federated Marine Stewards' and Pantrymen's Association of Australasia. In 1991 we amalgamated with the Professional Diver's Association and in 1993 we amalgamated with the Waterside Workers' Federation to become the Maritime Union of Australia. Also known as the MUA! In 1999 I resigned from the union and no longer worked for an employer. I had some health issues at the time plus I was involved in a co...

On the Way to Mullumbimby

 I changed a few words to make it easier to perform. I could make some more changes. Truckie or Trucker? ON THE WAY TO MULLUMBIMBY Camped by the roadside the hitch hiker fell asleep trying to get a lift to Mullumbimby A truck pulled over it started to rain the driver was drowsy and desperate for coffee He woke the hitch hiker who's name was Norm and he was from Newcastle South With a black T shirt dirty boots Norm the hitch hiker had a big mouth Never know who you'll meet Could be a scruffy or someone neat On the way to Mullumbimby You stop here and stop there Step on a snake so beware On the way to Mullumbimby The trucker hoped to get advice with an addiction he was craving for a flat white He stepped out the truck to say G-day Norm grabbed his bag after a long night He knew a place been on this road before he showed the trucker where to stop The trucker got vibes as he pulled up at the cafe next door to a crop Never know who you'll meet Could...

The Albatross

 The Albatross goes back before 2017 when I was still doing work at 2NVR. The Albatross Behind the stern flies a giant bird Beautiful to watch, the oceans boss When the swell disappears Who do you thank? An old Boson spirit returns As an albatross If I could take a picture now I would take a bow Take a bow for the Albatross No land in sight so we watch the bird That wishes us luck as we sail the lane Some will discharge, with money to spend And when it’s gone, there’ll be miserable pain If I could do something now I’d walk to the bow Walk to the bow for the Albatross Beswick
