Though I am 'river' more than 'sea' - I have always loved this verse from Browning...

And straight was a path of gold for him,
and the need of a world of men for me.

Great line Hully. What's the poem ?

We must never let 'em take this life away
Old stock routes belong to one and all
Drovers, dreamers all agree, poets, Aborigines
We have a right to light a campfire on the road.
