Mark Roberts #8 Slide 7 Canola at Cudal NSW circa 1968

Was it Cudal where I sat on the verandah
of the pub with my mother, sister, Mill and Ida
drinking shandies and lemonade
while dad and Tom had a few beers inside
before the drive back to the farm.

Looking down the main street
there was a sea of yellow 

lapping at the edge of town

.............................Canola
Tom told me when he came out
smelling of beer and tobacco
- everybody is growing it now
