We're Barb and Tom from across the sea, from Canberra you see in the act. That might toss your thoughts asunder, now here's a clue we're from down under. Too many and varied places we went, until alas our vigour was spent. Now Paula and Clive assisted a lot, except for that we'd have lost the plot. Sadly it's time that we must go, here are our thoughts for the world to know. For this place we're sure we'll always yearn, but our age is such there's no return.  But we'll tell our kids of this great place and they'll soon be here to take our place.

Best wishes to Clive and Paula from Barb and Tom, Canberra, Australia
