Poem - Samford

As you drive along Eaton's Crossing road 

Towards Samford 

Beautiful views open up to you 

Of the mountains 

And soon enough 

You see a small township on flat grounds to the left 

Between the mountains 

Of a number of rural homes 

Eventually you turn left 

Onto Mount Samson Road 

And pass by more beautiful views 

Of a landscape surrounded by mountains 

The landscape is so green 

You pass the sports fields 

Then some huge farm paddocks with lazy contented cows 

Then some quaint little country houses 

And the quaint little old church 

Arriving to the township now 

Over the crossing over the creek 

And now there's lazy shops around 

And restaurants 

But you can still see the mountains in the distance from the township

There's a lovely pub on the right that plays live music 

And a few unique gift shops dotted around 

Past the town central park surrounded by gardens and tall trees and including the little wooden shack that is the little local art shop 

Past some more quaint restaurants and the town bakery 

And down the street by the park 

Is another beautiful cafe surrounded by lots of plants 

And the harry potter shop 

A delightful shop with the harry potter theme 

Which is in a magical looking old home  with a huge colourful stained glass window 

Down this road 

In a lovely housing area

With huge beautiful countryside homes 

In Samford 

You remember the wide vast open spaces 

The country homes and paddocks and little township surrounded by mountains in the distance, everything being so green and lush, and the relaxed laid back feeling.
