Slim Dusty - Ballad Of Port Macquarie lyrics
Your rating:
From the beach with the sea billows rolling There's a place in Australia to go Where the tall whisp'ring pines bid you welcome And the sunset is red with its glow There's an old stone church on the hilltop Preserved now from past history In this fair place they named Port Macquarie Where the Hasting flows into the sea Oh yeah, that's right. The first settlers came here by sailboat From old Sydney town came this way Now the tourists, they come from all over Each year, more are coming to stay Where the sunshine's so warm in the winter And there's so many places to see So just come and soak up the sunshine Where the Hasting flows into the sea A few miles away to the westward And the giant sawmills keep on turnin' As the logs from the mountains come down And down to the south is Lake Cathie As lovely a scene you could see Where the Christmas bells bloom in the summer On the road that leads down to the sea Oh yeah, that's right. From the beach with the sea billows rolling There's a place in Australia to go Where the tall whisp'ring pines bid you welcome And the sunset is red with its glow There's an old stone church on the hilltop Preserved now from past history In this fair place they named Port Macquarie Where the Hasting flows into the sea In this fair place they named Port Macquarie Where the Hasting flows into the sea.
