Slim Dusty lyrics : "Ballad of Port Macquarie"

From the beach with the sea billows rolling,
There's a place in Australia to go,
Where the tall whisp'ring pines bid you welcome,

And the sunset is red with its glow.

There's an old stone church on the hilltop,

Preserved now from past history,
In this fair place they named Port Macquarie,
Where the Hasting flows into the sea.


Oh yeah, that's right.


The first settlers came here by sailboat,
From old Sydney town came this way.
Now the tourists, they come from all over,

Each year, more are coming to stay.

Where the sunshine's so warm in the winter,

And there's so many places to see,
So just come and soak up the sunshine,
Where the Hasting flows into the sea.


A few miles away to the westward,
Is Wauchope, that old Timbertown,

And the giant sawmills keep on turnin'
As the logs from the mountains come down.


And down to the south is Lake Cathie
As lovely a scene you could see;
Where the Christmas bells bloom in the summer,

On the road that leads down to the sea.

Oh yeah, that's right.


From the beach with the sea billows rolling
There's a place in Australia to go

Where the tall whisp'ring pines bid you welcome
And the sunset is red with its glow


There's an old stone church on the hilltop
Preserved now from past history
In this fair place they named Port Macquarie

Where the Hasting flows into the sea.

In this fair place they named Port Macquarie

Where the Hasting flows into the sea.
