A LOO WITH A VIEW JUST FOR YOU

Pleased to say that as of 2023 there are now toilets with 24 hour access opposite the main silo.

There are silos out at Goorambat, part of the Silo trail

which is catching on with Grey Nomads, loved by female and male

around this country.  Folks are driving many miles through every state

to catch the artistic vision painted on our silos mate.

Now at Goorambat the silos show a stunning team of three

lovely Clydesdales, Banjo, Sam and Clem, hard workers as you see

and to keep them company there is one huge, big barking owl

who has a range of calls from barking dog to human howl 

 

 

And in the Church at Goorambat a sweet lady resides,

she's known out there as Sophia, and the beauty in her eyes

is just magic, there's a white dove with her feathers on display

it's a mural worth the viewing - volunteers will show the way.

And Goorambat is just another little country town,

that is trying hard to keep afloat, drought's sadly all around

and times are tough, we Aussies get that, and we do what Aussies do,

which is try to help a mate out - but sometimes we need a loo.

 

Now Goorambat just doesn't have one, and believe me that is tough

when thousands of folks come visiting and have to do 'it' rough.

True the trees there might be thankful, but it's quite undignified

to revert to dodgy practices when there's no place to hide.

So, a 'go fund me' page has started up, to buy a septic tank

as a start to build the toilets for which all tourists will thank

the town, and it will free up Alan, eighty-nine years old

who directs tourists to the hall - that toilet to behold.

 

So, if you can spare a dollar mate 'twould be appreciated

and would help a fellow Aussie out who might just be frustrated

with a need to go that's urgent, and if Alan's not in sight

and they're caught short!  Oh my God I'm thinking, what a dreadful plight.

For a town without a pub is bad, and no beer even worse,

but a town without a public loo is everybody’s curse,

and they sure as hell don't want to see the tourists stopped from coming

just because the Council hasn't helped install a bit of plumbing.
