THE PEOPLE'S ROAD
One of Australia's most scenic roads,
Was built over the Kirrama Range.
Linking Cardwell to the Atherton Tablelands,
Engineering FEAT, bound to bring change.
THE PEOPLE'S ROAD would bring us timber,
Through the Kirrama National Park.
Nature's majestic tropical rainforest,
Rugged mountains, dense, semi dark.
Ever running waterfalls, moss covered rock,
A paradise for eye and ear.
With nature's beautiful views galore,
Symphony of tropical sounds we love to hear.
The sturdy bridges, built with great care,
Timbers withstanding test of the years.
With tropical heat and wet season rain,
THE PEOPLE's ROAD built with "blood sweat and tears"
After robust years, cyclone Yasi to boot,
The PEOPLE'S ROAD in need of repair.
Authoritarian "powers" closing our road,
The heritage of the people: WE CARE!
The years of neglect by our leaders so called,
THE PEOPLE'S ROAD no longer used.
Stations cut off above the Kirrama Range,
The people's trust in authority abused!
Blencoe Falls, nature's gift to the people,
Tropical wonder for tourist and local alike.
THE PEOPLE'S ROAD will recover,
Are you planning your next tropical hike?
$ Billions are wasted on o'seas aid,
But this beautiful road turning to "dust".
It's time for we the people to give it a go,
THE PEOPLE'S ROAD: REOPEN IT MUST!
