Saltpan Country

Down in the Saltpan Country the saltpans white as snow You won't see many animals where only saltbush grow All through the thirsty Summer the days are warm and long In the dry and the bare countryside known as the Coorong Met an old bloke at Meningie the Coorong countryside he know He said that old Lake Albert has never been so low The water has retreated far inland from the shore He said I've never seen it as low as this before Down in the Saltpan Country the water birds are rare Of the dwindling wildlife numbers one cannot help but feel aware In a healthy Natural environment wildlife numbers do abound In the Coorong only more and larger saltpans for miles and miles around Down in the Saltpan Country where only saltbush grow The saltpans in the sunshine are gleaming white as snow
