On the Queensland border at Mungindi sits the "Two Mile" water hole.
TWO MILE PUB:
MUNGINDI BORDERTOWN:
After eating red dust, a refreshment seemed right.
So as the day is done, the XXXX sign comes in sight.
This pub is a family show of food and ice cold beer.
Of friendly staff, relaxed zone and chock full of cheer
As I squinted and adjusted to the indoor scene, mine host stopped and looked at me.
I know you she said at last but my male mind was blank as oft it does at times like this.
Until at last the cogs lined up, this was an old mate, out of the blue of over 30 years ago.
Michaela:
Memories flooded from long ago days.
When both our hair hadn’t any grey.
Numbers had rolled page by page.
Her eyes the same they did not age.
Same warm smile and welcome face.
Was made so welcome in the space.
We chatted long about family grown.
Children arrived, reared, now flown.
Thankyou Michaela for catchup time.
Reconnection appreciated just like wine.
Though the outer shell may differ some.
The inner essence stays, that is never done.

‘Ami Louise’ From Essex
Time for a cold one at the “Two Mile Pub”
In the midst, intense discussion behind the bar.
About a little snake, was it still near or gone afar.
Most concern was Ami, who hadn’t seen the reptile.
Didn’t like them, dead, alive, fake or real, put that on file
Instantly you feel a natural warmth when first she greets.
Sharing her soft and gentle soul to everyone she meets.
Pours for you a perfect beer and asks how was your day.
You think, a good idea to stop for a cold one on the way.
Be a fool to think that Ami will be an easy pushover mark.
There lies a solid head and purpose behind the caring heart.
Knows precisely what she wants, suggest not stand in her way.
Better get your cards in place well before you try to alter her day.
“AMI A VERY WARM WELCOME TO AUSTRALIA IS WHAT I SAY”
'Isabel Emma'
Meet Izzy at the “Two Mile Pub”
Vibrant young woman in the prime of life.
Here for living, no thought of being a wife.
First words I heard her say was genuine Aus.
Have to use initials FMD, too rude, just because.
Izzy‘s tongue spoke a very distinct pommy tone.
But another hidden accent, basically home grown.
Soon revealed to be an English/ Mexican family base.
Delightful crazy persona, a fun, with wide open face.
Eyes on fire, showing sparks of life with a cheeky smile.
You get a feeling to trust this girl time to be worthwhile.
Delightful crazy Larikan who at times been known to cuss.
Dominant wicked sense of humour, Izzy could be one of us.
So ‘Aussie Izzy’ fits the description to add to UK and Mexican.
