- The plunge of the paddle
- the tilt of the sky
- and the blue and the golden -
- the sandbanks drift by ...
- li-loing on the Shoalhaven
- curving the water and air
- hearing the chant
- of the next cascade
- wizardly stirring the air
- These are the hours of sunshine
- carried along by the flow
- Nature - the bearded rock imp
- waves greenly the way to go .

- The creek
- Through a gallery
- Of sandstone statuary
- Sun teeming
- Red rock slabs
- Sliding between
- Emerging,
- A small cliff below,
- Where smoothly cupped
- We swim
- Langourously , big pooled
- Fluidly free shaped above
- Then liquidly , loquaciously
- Lissomly leaving
- One corridor of stone
- For the next
- Seeming crystal
- Smoothworks down
- long obsidian glide
- To livistonia light
- Pooling our thoughts
- We splash mindlessly.
