CONDAMINE CALL
The warmer months have come and gone
Now winter winds are blowing.
Though time has passed since summer storms
Glengallan keeps on flowing.
Eastern ranges feed the western fall
With tiny streams converging.
“Come join me cross the black soil plains”
Old Condamine is urging.
Cross gravel beds, dark silt and clay
Countless rain drops tumble.
An erosive force in time of flood
Will see dry creek banks crumble.
How varied the activities
From the junction to the source.
There’s place for man and nature too
Along the water course.
The memories of recent drought
Bring thoughts of grim reflection.
How precious is this simple stream
How urgent its protection.
