Hidden Gems

King what? friends asked, King where? they said,

From the mainland, don't fly to Tassie, stop halfway instead.

King Island, a hidden treasure, full of so many gems,

Not the hard crystal ones, but those with many legs.

Teeny tiny critters, stop and have a look,

Careful where you walk, for what is underfoot.

Freshwater invertebrates swimming really fast,

In the field observing them, ensuring they will last.

With teachers and scientists, the stories will unfold,

Can't wait to explore tomorrow and see what the day holds!
