It was an ancient land mass long before the first people to it came
This is a grand old Country Australia by name
Old in the age of the dinosaurs and old in the Dreamtime
This land of rugged beauty that has inspired bards to rhyme
Centuries ago in the warmth of the Summer in the shade of the gum trees
The first Australians gathered to dance their corroborees
The country they loved and lived in looks a bit different today
Out there on the brown mountain their bones forever lay
The home of kookaburra, emu, wallaby and roo
And wombat and koala, rosella, lorikeet and cockatoo
Lyrebird and silver bill magpie, magpie lark and currawong
Birds from once heard and once seen that one never could get wrong
It is a very old Land with many claims to fame
The home of the marsupials Australia by name.
