Top End Pub
Top End Pub.
There’s a place hidden away ‘mongst the ant farms,
A warm, friendly gem called The Sandpalms.
Stop in to refuel with a drink or some grub,
More than a motel, it’s a great bloody pub!
They do roast on a Sunday, good as!
To wash down with a beer or Shiraz
On a Thursday, it’s pizza, wood-fired,
The owners were truly inspired!
There are lizards and emus, of course the odd 'roo,
And safely penned in, are crocodiles, two.
The locals, free for a laugh, How would I know?
‘cause I found this great bloody pub down at Bynoe!
