It’s beautiful this land of ours
In so many diverse ways
The stark and arid deserts
Shimmering with heat haze
The green abundant rainforests
The plains of wheat fields flowing
The sheep and cattle roaming
In paddocks ever on going
The wonderful creeks and rivers
Mountain ranges tall
Reaching ever upward
Peaked with fresh snowfall
The gorges and the billabongs
Wild and rugged cliff faces
How I love this country
With so many stunning places
One day I will travel its width and breadth
From top to bottom too
Traverse beneath the scorching sun
And the skies open and blue
Feel the gentle breezes
As they caress the land
Walk on beautiful beaches
Pure soft white sand
I close my eyes I see it
The aromas I smell
I feel the many textures
I hope you can as well.
