Snowy Mountains Summertime

I love the wild wilderness, strong, wet wind blowing in my face
I can see
Tall green gum trees
Wild free brumbies
Burnt brown chimneys
Wet soil by my knees.
I can hear
Colourful birds flapping high in the sky
Soaring, gliding like a butterfly
Neighing sounds call from brumbies
Swishing leaves on tall gum trees.
I can smell
Stinky, vile brumby poo
Fresh eucalyptus dew
Sweet, smelly, earthy leaves
Cool and crisp mountain breeze.
