A, for Australia, it is one of the best
It’s got cute little birds and little nests
Snakes, roos and spiders in the light
Hot, cold, warm and bright
Damp, wet and dry, with plenty of droughts
But that is way far out
There is outstanding waterfalls
When you’re out here, you can hear the wilderness calls
Our grass is green
And our terrain is mean.
