To the Liddelows of Balbarrup

From Innaloo to Karrinyup, through Kallaroo and Gwelup,
Past Currambine and Joondalup, across the lake to Nannup,
Wanneroo, Kendenup, Narrikup and Cookernup,
Yellagonga, Nollamara and down the coast to Coogee.

Heading south to Mandurah and passing by Pinjarra,
Kwinana kept him curious, Waroona waved him by;
Jandakot and Dandalup denied all landing rights.
Joondanna and Mortagallup watched him drive away.

Then Midgegoroo and Wokalup beckoned him to stop -
He could have seen old Kokokup, Nannup and Boyanup -
But he drove right past Mayanup, Ballingup and Bibra
And headed straight for Manjimup: Balbarrup called him home.
