Kakadu

As the sun slowly rises, it’s rays stretching to the ground
The animals start waking up, whilst nobody’s around.

In the dry season it is so hot, all the leaves fall to the ground.
In the wet season the rain buckets...it keeps on pouring, pouring down.

People walk in the sunlight, enjoying the scenery the most.
Others go canoeing, whilst under the sun’s heat they roast!

I love swimming in the rivers, or seeing crocs from a boat.
The flies are always busy, in this place so remote.

The traditional owners run the land, based around a family clan.
Kakadu... it’s so much fun. A special place. So grand.
