The Red Deer At Halls Gap

In the parks and paddocks in and around Halls Gap them one often does see The red deer of Europe there live wild and free Though not as plentiful there as gray kangaroos red deer are not rare in any way In the Geriwerd Ranges they are are animals one does see every day In Halls Gap in their rutting Season the bellowing of the stags one often does hear And when they sense danger to them it is near They run to the cover of the woods nearby Of human kind the red deer of Halls Gap are shy Stories of red deer and deer hunting i loved reading as a boy And reading Walter Scott'sA Stag Hunt a poem i enjoy Whenever i am in Halls Gap red deer in the parks there i see And anytime i tried to get near to them to the woods they did flee That they have been shot at seems obviously clear And the sight of a human instil in them fear.
