Australia

That it is one of the World's most amazing Countries there can be little doubt
Australia the vast Land of the sunny far south
Home to marsupials and megapodes and monoterene
Most of the amazing wildlife of Australia nowhere else to be seen
The home of acacias and pittosporum and many species of eucalypt tree
So much natural beauty in Australia to see
Beyond the big coastal towns and cities in the brown countryside
So many open spaces and so much  scenic beauty Australia wide
As a historical and cultural Country Australia takes pride of place
Home to the descendants of  the Dreamtime of people a very old race
They had lived in Australia for sixty thousand years or more
Before people from the far northlands arrived on the far southern shore
Home to many species of birds from the great to the small
Australia one of the World's most amazing Countries if not the most amazing of all.
