Tiperrary+Walk



I anticipated this walking out-and up, one evening walking with you all Eagerly I anticipated our striding away from the old Mollonghghip Hall Strolling together to take in the late 2012 February air In my thoughts the air is newly fresh and the air is always fair.

I thought about all the people and the efforts they have made, in a way to get us here today.

I think of Ted, Glenda, Gib, Ronnie, Vivienne, the Barrys three, Of Neville, Geraldine, Peter and Anne, Gayle, Ross, Edna, Melva and Alma, Doris The Maklin’s - George and Ray and Lill and Ken Wayne and Kerrie, Meryl and Barry, Chris, Josie and Ron of the theatre school and John, of Dianne, Tony and the butcher brothers McPhan.

Also, I reflect upon myself on Bob, Sandra, Rosemary & Tony, on Jenny, Baldy, Vicki, George, Nattie, Debbie and Herman, Artie, Molly, Gavan and Tina and Tony and Julie Toohey and Ian Peck Of Maureen and Michael, Tim and Noellene Williams and of James and Sarah and Marie Lourey, Claire Tieson of Jo Trevathean, Danny O’Riordan of Kate Henderson, Peter Timms and Adrian and of my old mate Bob Keith.

About, Phil, Hanita, Simon and Joey And Melville, Marie, the Turleys’s Rose and Rob Peter, Mar-Lou, the Jan’s, Anita and Bob and Marian Joff and Mary, Sandy, Prue, James and The Lamberts too.

Kate and Peter, the Rosa’s Jasmine and Rasport.

About all those who are near, and those who are far.

I think of the two hills, the curve of the Oldacre’s old old acres Of gliding along the ridge coming down on of the Ross and Barry’s side I think of the Djarawong and their ancient makers Of the coming still March and it’s Golden Brown paddocks now curving around us all Of being nestled here beside the forest and the slow amble back to the old hall.

Ah to be dining among ourselves - the very living friends of our old hall Celebrating nature, life and giving - as we do, each to each Celebrating simple, attainable things easily within our reach That is everything, my new friends and my old That is everything and that is all.
