2018
Excellence Award in the 'Horizon of Dreams 2018' competition
A crimson Waratah watching attentively on its thin stalk,
An amber kangaroo bounding energetically around the shallow billabong,
A tasty vegemite blob drooping sluggishly down thick toast,
A slender gumtree swaying to and fro in the outback,
Majestic Uluru looming over the bare plains,
The gleaming Opera House proudly sitting beside a beautiful harbour,
THIS IS AUSTRALIA.
