There’s no finer way to start a day
than wake with taste the ocean spray
as you look out into the harbour
and imagine yourself sailing away
from the home you call your own.
Baudin Terrace
has always been
its own riddle of beauty
steeped in history
graced by the footprints
of the great adventurer himself
over 200 years ago
his expedition
came to great fruition
as he stumbled across a land
of golden sands
that decorate the shore
beguiled by the majesty
of the flora
and fauna
that so bountifully grow
and when the sun sets
you can take
a moonlit stroll down the shore
watching the sky fade
from pink
to star gazing black
the aura is an alchemy
beyond any science
that leaves the mind in a trance.
This corner of the world
is like no other
it’s diversity
is part of the mystery
that put Baudin Terrace on the map
now it remains
a lap of luxury
offering the Indian ocean at your front door
who could ask for more?
