In the waters of southern
Australia
a mystical creature resides
Small and fragile, with seaweed-like
wings
There in the sea-grass it hides.
Sheltered under the Rapid Bay
jetty
The leafy sea dragons dance
Whenever someone cares for the
planet
Giving our sea life a chance.
From Myponga down to Cape
Jervis
Parawa through Delamere
Hiking the Heysen Trail
Voices echoing
say:
Come away to The Sea Dragon Coast
Come away to the sea
dragon's home on the bay
Every view takes your breath away
Walk awhile in
the sea and the sand and the sky
There's a paradise-look in your eye
On
The Sea Dragon Coast.
Golden beaches of Carrickalinga
Forests
and vineyards abound
Rustic charm of old Yankalilla
Cafes of Normanville
town.
Ring the old bell, awake Second Valley
To a feast of food, song,
and wine
From Deep Creek Park up to Inman Valley
Celebrate! It's Festival
time!
In this part of southern Australia
Where rugged cliffs greet the
tides
Sunsets light up the sea
sea lions beckon to me:
Come
away to The Sea Dragon Coast
Come away to the sea dragon's home on the
bay
Every view takes your breath away
Walk awhile in the sea and the sand
and the sky
There's a paradise-look in your eye
On The Sea Dragon
Coast.
