Here in Devonport
I can’t believe it’s true
So let’s go walk the hill
Up North Head Historic Reserve
Til we hit the
Gunbattery spot
Here in Devonport
I can’t believe it’s true
Gazing across the top of the maungauika
While dazzling diamonds all around us
On Cheltenham Beach and bay
Beckons in the noonday hot
Here in Devonport
I can’t believe it’s true
We’ve finally boarded and flown to “kiwi-land”
And to top it off a writer’s dream for me to be
Where poets Fairburn and Ireland
Their masterpiece inspiration got
Here in Devonport
