On Australia Day 2020

The sun at times peers from behind clouds of grey
And the silver gulls mewing in the park by the bay
From the celebrations in the big town eight kilometres away
How nice to be alone with Nature on Australia Day
Nature she has not been happy of late in this Land of the south
Parts of this vast Country ravaged by fire after Seasons of drought
But to this quiet spot by the ocean fires have not been near
In the prime of the Summer in the southern year
Why so many love her not hard to understand
Australia she is such a beautiful Land
Her beauty has inspired the writers of song, story and rhyme
The Motherland of the people of the Dreaming Time
From the noisy celebrations in the big town eight kilometres away
In the park by the ocean Nature is at peace today.
