Excellence Award in the 'Legendary 2012' competition
Australia is
my home, sweet home
I know it well
so I can roam
The swaying gum trees, the old, dry land
The beautiful sunset, it's all in my hands
Clear water tumbling through every single lake
The sound, the movement is like a hissing snake
The delicious smell of barbecue, high up in the sky
Pulling me closer, I do hope it is nearby
Emus strutting around, kangaroos hopping all day long
Platypuses poke around, I can hear the laughing song
Australia is
my home, sweet home
I know it well
so I can roam
