Did You Say Halls Creek

Halls Creek I hear you say - and what’s in it for 

me? Well, nothing, unless you’ve invested cash 

in growth of a mega-urbanity planned by goat’s 

beard & crew - but you’d’ve needed to’ve been 

aboard that graft wagon some time back, so no, 

there’s nothing in it for the likes of us small fry - 

we’ll only see ‘planned’ development disasters 

in retrospect - and well after its denial at that 

However it is pleasing anomies usual route was 

distinctly constrained; it’s mostly run the course 

in this instance - corrupting no one except State 

planners - who’re livid, and the few Councillors 

covertly scheming for filthy riches because they 

can - the alternative’s an East Beerwah plan 

And there’s the irony, it is pristine land without 

the urban sprawl of Halls Creek - so why even 

go through the motions - but we’ll be played in 

a fools game for a pot of gold we’ll never see; 

its the facile way of State level bureaucracy & 

and its inane urban planning pettifoggery
