Australia the Land of the people of the Dreamtime
Their legend has been the inspiration of song, story and rhyme
Australia's indigenous race there can be little doubt
For thousands of years their ancestors had lived in this vast Land of the south
Before the arrival of Europeans who laid claim to their land
And changed their way of life one can understand
That many of them are unhappy with the way they are being governed today
They do not have a voice to Parliament which seems sad to say
The lives of Australia's first people changed forever more
On the day Cook and his sailors arrived on the southern shore
Australia's first people of the twenty first century
In N A D O C week in July celebrate their history
Change for the worst was brought to them when Cook and his sailors arrived
But they have a lot to feel proud of since colonization they have survived.
