I
wanted to let people know about the great times I’ve
had
So I started thinking hard and got my pen and notepad
Then tried to write the odd line and verse down;
Some of the poem is silly but I hope it won’t make
you frown.
Myella
has horses and motorbikes all in
one place;
A whole range of activities to put a smile on your
face
A true outback experience, different to the rest of
the East Coast
That’s why it’s one of the things in
Australia
that I like the most
Horse
riding is one of the main activities at the farm
With guides always on hand to make sure no one comes
to harm
Riding each morning through the wide open paddocks and
laneway
With so many different horses, you can almost choose a
new one each day
After
lunch, the motorbike students learn their stuff
Then they’re free to ride around ‘til they’ve
had enough
Mustering the horses each morning or riding round the
7km track
Then riding up to sunset and beating the darkness back
The
running of
Myella
farmstay is a three-way family affair
With days off or the chance of a holiday being oh so
rare!
Lyn is always on hand to tell jokes, stories and
rhymes
Hoping that after she finishes them, people will laugh
sometimes
Olive
is always busy in the kitchen cooking up daily
delights
Food so good that people lick the plates clean most
nights
Whilst Peter is an expert in bush poetry;
Give him an audience, and recite verses all night can
he
The
rest of the
Myella
team definitely deserve a mention
For all the hard work they do each day without
exemption
Looking after guests and keeping them entertained on
the farm
Whether there are 6 or 60 people staying, they always
turn on the charm
Nikki
is the best cow milker and cookie chef in town
And on standby as a firey, in case the place burns
down
Shane is the motorbike man; he really knows his stuff
But when grading his students, sometimes he’s got to
be tough
Trevor
is the horse man; at teaching people to ride he’s
good
But watch out for his wrath, if you don’t get on and
off like you should!
Kelsie and Mel are the main horse riding guides
Always making sure that guests have fun and enjoy
their daily rides
Russell
is the multi-talented maintenance man about the place
With the ability to make hot curries that will bring
tears to your face
And though Nelly’s not permanent and she sometimes
comes and goes
Everyone loves talking to her because all the gossip
she knows
Toby
the dog has extensive skills at chasing kangaroos
But they’re too fast for him, and it’s a race
he’s always going to loose
And who could forget Harry, the world’s strangest
looking cockatoo
Always looking for fuss, attention and cuddles from
somebody new
To
summarise all the things about Myella which are great
Would take far more than this poem and maybe also a
black board slate
A great range of activities and a fantastic staff
team;
Makes a perfect combination, of which most people can
only dream
So
keep doing the things that make the farm special and
unique
Then for years to come, good things about
Myella
, people will speak
Guests of all nationalities and ages will continue to
visit
And after staying a few days, they’ll help spread
the word that
Myella
is exquisite!
