For those who listened to Macca, Australia All Over last Sunday, you may have heard him read this piece to air -

Tanami Trek.

Trekin’ across the Tanami, hundreds of kilometres to go,

trundle ‘n along in me wheelchair,

crikey the time passes slow.

Hardly stirrin’ the red dust, tyre tracks left far behind,

can’t see sign of a next bend, watchin’ the scenery unwind.

Amblin’ along towards Alice, that dusty desert town,

starin’ into the sunset sets me face in a frown

Spinifex keepin’ me company all alongside the track,

but  lookin’ ahead to the horizon

makes me stop lookin’ back.
