A Golden Eureka

"Eureka, Eureka- I've found it,
It's as Gold as candle- lit,
It looks so very old,
I'm telling you it is Gold,
You can find it on the end of a hook,
You can find it if you look,
Gold is in the water,
Gold is in the fire,
Gold is in the sun- if you look even higher,
The Southern Cross is of five stars,
In the sky- seen from afar,
Gold is so very heavy,
I'll show you if you're ready,
Gold is worth lots money,
The colour of pure honey,
Discovered in Australia in the 1800s,
Without this discovery, Australia would be plundered!"
