Poem

Station Life

by W. T. Goodge · 1904

Oh, a station life is the life for me,And the cold baked mutton in the morning!Oh, the glorious ride o'er the plains so free,And the cold baked mutton in the morning!And the rising moon on the mountain's brow!And the ringtailed 'possum on the gum tree bough!And the leathery damper and the salted cow,And the cold baked mutton in the morning!
