Thursday Brew with Gwen Unbowed by Adversity Ramrod stiff, like a soldier on parade Pride in every limb, Unbowed by drought or flood, Through countless years, the eucalypt grew tall. A chaotic spread of trash Lay about its feet Rotting down, providing nutrient Against the day of want. A king amongst its kind, An ageless living column, A home for bird and possum Shade and shelter for the traveller I sat beneath this sovereign gum Listening to its heart beat strong I hear

A story from the life of Bruce and Gwen Leane about the their adventures and finding mateship alive in the Australian outback.

Poetry by Gwen Leane - From Another World
