On this Australia Day of National pride
The sun shining bright on the brown countryside
And a humid warmth in the freshening breeze
That sough in the branches of the taller trees
Today is the day rural people are in town
Watching the parade on the street passing down
To the town park where the celebrations take place
Watched by many a nationality of many a race
Today is the day of the National brag
Many wave the flag of the Dreamtime and the National flag
But here in the brown countryside another quiet day
Blowing in the wind the sweet scent of hay
On a warm evening of twenty five degrees
From the sun and the wind the cattle shelter by the trees.
