My Australia

I'm full of biting mozzies. I'm stinky hot and dry.

I've got the MCG and Uluru. Oh my, oh my, oh my!

I've got Tim Tams and kangaroos, the platypus and Kelpie.

Oh no! Here comes the floods. Oh help me! Help me! Help me!

This is my Australia. My angel of the desert.

And if you come here now, you'll find quite a present.
