This is another droving poem inspired after visiting the Stockmen�s Hall of Fame in Longreach Queensland and doing a few four wheel drive trips out past Birdsville and down the Birdsville Track. It also helped having a couple of beers at the famous Blue Heeler Pub at Kynuna, Queensland.

The Blue Heeler Blues

It was three months ago last Friday since we left the Isa�s booze
And I lived in this damned saddle with the red sand dunes for views
So is it any wonder I�ve got
The old Blue Heeler blues

I�ve followed on behind a thousand head that �moos�
There�s steers of every colour; And there�s cows of every hue
And every mile they travel they add more dust to
These old Blue Heeler blues

The End
Here is a picture of the famous Birdsville Pub which is an Australian Icon.
It is situated on the Diamontina River & is renowned for the Bush Races held each year when thousands of visitors come to enjoy the outback atmosphere.
.  Droving Tracks also pass nearby due to the water available. Birdsville was named for the great flocks of Parrots that nest in the trees along the river
