Far South Of

 Far south of Hibernia's wild rocky shore
Fifteen thousand kilometres or more
Of the fields of the badger and waterways of the brown trout
Quite a different Country here in the far south
In the  Land of the people of the Dreamtime 
Their history the inspiration of the writers of song, story and rhyme
Of Nature new lessons to learn every day 
That we learn as we live only true to say
And of Nature every day we learn something new
Her beauty is timeless and her lessons not in the few
A koala eating leaves or sleeping on branch of a manna gum tree
A sight of rare beauty for one for to see
And just before twilight the roos from the woods venture out
For to graze in the paddocks and go on hop about.
