Way Over Yonder

Another view of The Head on the road between Boonah and Queen Mary Falls, an on to Warwick in SE Queensland. The Condamine River rises in that valley then flows at a lower level as it wends its way to Killarney and on down through the Darling and Murray Rivers to South Australia. The road disappearing below is mainly for locals and is a dirt secondary road that follows the river to Killarney while the main road follows the heights and passes several falls including Queen Mary and Daggs on its way to the same town. The river is denoted by the line of trees in the middle of the shot.

 

It reminds me of Carol King's wonderful song "Way Over Yonder" which has some special significance for me and is one of the few songs of which I know all the words and liable for burst into song with her. I am in great demand with the neighbourhood cats on a full moon night!

Way Over Yonder

Way over yonder

Is a place that I know

Where I can find shelter

From a hunger and cold

And the sweet tastin' good life

Is so easily found

A way over yonder, that's where I'm bound

 

I know when I get there

The first thing I'll see

Is the sun shining golden

Shining right down on me

Then trouble's gonna lose me

Worry leave me behind

And I'll stand up proudly

In true peace of mind

 

Talkin' about

Talkin' about

A way over yonder

Is a place I have seen

In a garden of wisdom

From some long ago dream

Oh yeah

Ooh maybe tomorrow

I'll find find my way

To the land where the honey runs

In rivers each day

And the sweet tastin' good life

Is so easily found

A way over yonder

That's where I'm bound

 

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

A way over yonder

That's where I'm bound
