The journey from Darwin to Broome, It started sometime in late June, An adventurous three, With the Potters and me, And a playlist with many a tune Let's start with Tamara, for one, She's the quiet achiever, and fun, Loves Nutella a lot, Eats it straight from the pot, And of course she enjoys a good pun! Then Larissa, well where to begin, I guess with that ear to ear grin, She's made Darwin her home, Even got a smart phone, And has yarns from the top end to spin. And to round out this curious three, I guess now the spotlights on me I packed the recliners And provide the one-liners And am happy to drink earl grey tea So what of this Kimberley caper It’s such a great holiday shaper With gorges and creeks You could stay there for weeks It’s one to jot down on some paper
