My Bush
By Teniel Morgan
I'm walking through the bush,
I wonder what I'll see.
Oh wow, it's a silky pear, a Karlkurla I think
It's how Kalgoorlie got its name you see.
One day when white man came,
An Aboriginal said 'Karlkurla - a silky pear'
White man said Kalgoorlie.
So past all that I love the bush,
I wish that I could stay.
It's so peaceful and calm, because I'm surrounded by wildlife.
There's no salinity, there's just too much bush you see.
There are native shrubs and tall trees.
It's so exciting.
Wow, there's a kangaroo.
But now it's time to go as I venture back towards my car.
The sun is setting in the sky, it's so beautiful.
I think I'm going to cry!
Karlkurla Bush Park
By Alex Whitehead
It is free and a beautiful place.
It is ever so close to town.
It is a place where you can relax.
The park has a picnic area so just bring some picnic food.
There is a barbeque. Many people know the place as the old rifle range.
Go look at the Olympic planting site.
The people who planted will tell you this place is SPECIAL. It has a VALUE.
It is most upsetting that vandals have wrecked lots of plants.
Then they supplied plants for our garden five days after.
All in all Karlkurla Park is an ace place.
