One hundred K's or maybe more to the next country town <br />But we will reach Gilgandra before the sun goes down <br />And we will book a room tonight in the Gilgandra hotel <br />'Twas tweny bucks six months ago my memory serves me well. <br /> <br />We have travelled more than 500K's and weary from the car <br />But such a journey in this Land to many doesn't seem far <br />Five hundred K's is nothing mate the travelled Aussie say <br />Some people drive to Queensland from Victoria in a day. <br /> <br />But we'll stop in Gilgandra the record we won't chase <br />And we'll reach the Gold Coast in two days we are not in a race <br />And we'll eat a hearty counter meal relax and have a beer <br />And tomorrow night in north New South our journey's end we'll near. <br /> <br />For over six hours we have driven and we only had one break <br />And why should we drive on through the night and try to stay awake <br />And though we have many miles to go no deadlines for to keep <br />And we will stop in Gilgandra for to eat and rest and sleep. <br /> <br />We'll reach Gilgandra by sunset and then call it a day <br />For South Queensland seems a long way off and many miles away <br />And we will have a good night's sleep in Gilgandra Hotel <br />'Twas twenty bucks six months ago my memory serves me well.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-ll-stop-in-gilgandra/
