The Coorong Is Slowly Dying

The huge saltpans of the Coorong circular and white as snow
With time's passage getting bigger in the land where saltbush grow
The Coorong is slowly dying where waterfowl did once abound
In the countryside of many dried out lakes few birds now to be found
in the Land known as the Coorong climate change has left it's mark
A Coastal National Park in name only is the Coorong National Park
Where most of the lakes have dried out the Coorong has known a better day
And with less lakes far less water birds that does seem sad to say
The saltpans of the Coorong getting bigger as the weeks and months go by
The land where only saltbush grow has never been so dry
One more victim of Climate change the once beautiful Coorong
A place that inspired the artists and inspired the bards to song
Few waterbirds in the Coorong that does seem sad to say
What was once a birders paradise has gone into decay.
