Lyrics
Ohh ahh hey Ahh la la low Ohh ahh hey Cape Conran
East of Marlo where the coastline bends There's a harder edge where the long beach ends Sand gives way to the rock and foam And the Bass Strait wind comes driving home
Blue water shifting over reef and stone A wild bright place with a mind of its own Salmon Rocks in the cool sea swell The kind of coast that wears its weather well
Cape Conran, where the sea wind calls Where the long sand ends and the rock face falls Boats meet the water, but you watch that line On a coast like this you give the swell its time
Ohh ahh hey, where the salt spray flies Cool Bass Strait under the open skies Salmon Rocks and the white surf light A working edge of sea and stone made bright
The ramp runs down through the stone and sand A useful mark on a restless land But it's still tight water when the surge rolls through And the rocks sit close if the swell gets up on you
Divers slip where the clear depths run Through cool green water under the sun Snorkelers drift where the reef fish hide And the blue sea breathes with the turning tide
Cape Conran, where the sea wind calls Where the long sand ends and the rock face falls Boats meet the water, but you watch that line On a coast like this you give the swell its time
Ohh ahh hey, where the salt spray flies Cool Bass Strait under the open skies Salmon Rocks and the white surf light A working edge of sea and stone made bright
There's no soft promise in a place like this Just wind and stone and the salt sea hiss But that's the beauty, sharp and true The coast does not bend itself to you
Ohh ahh hey, let the south wind blow Hey now hey, watch the whitecaps show La la low, where the reef runs clean East of Marlo where the sea turns green
Cape Conran, where the sea wind calls Where the long sand ends and the rock face falls Boats meet the water, but you watch that line On a coast like this you give the swell its time
Ohh ahh hey, where the salt spray flies Cool Bass Strait under the open skies Salmon Rocks and the white surf light A working edge of sea and stone made bright
Ohh ahh hey Cape Conran East of Marlo where the wild rocks begin
