Blue But Not Heaven

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A sign offering the glamour of progress on the beachfront. But a development site requiring the demolishing of a historic Dromana cottage is not so glamorous!
A new place called Pearl Beach may just miss out on the real pearl!
It's a time to sing the blues!

A coastal village on Port Phillip Bay
Dromana is the joy of seaside life.
Each season is a song in Nature's play,
Each moment is a scenic pause from strife.
When holidays are tempting weary slaves
And Christmas is a time to find escapes,
Parades of campers inundate the waves
While residents try dealing with new shapes.
But those new shapes will last for longer now.
A huge three tiered resort will grace the shore.
The humble tent will fringe the fancy bow.
Our simple pleasure place will be no more.
Pearl Beach, the pretty shell without the pearl -
Is this the way our nation will unfurl?

THIS IS NOW...WHAT THEN?
