I Am

I am a platypus splashing in the cool, glassy water at Narran's Creek

I am a koala scrambling up the trees for some juicy leaves at Flinders Rangers

I am a red kangaroo pounding across The Great Victorian Desert

I am the old paddle steamer cruising down the cool Murray River

I am a Sturt Desert Pea proudly decorating the Simpson Desert

I am clouds brewing in the mucky skies over thirsty crops

I am the trees swaying in the cool breeze at Frances

I am the spirit of Australia
