AUSTRALIA DAY!
I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror -
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror -
The wide brown land for me!
Most famous stanza from 'My Country' by
Dorothea Mackeller early 1900s
Australia before unprecedented droughts, heat, late monsoon season and
unseasonably devastating bushfires.
And a more light-hearted look at 'Straya' as we celebrate: barbecues, water activities and
Citizenship Ceremonies welcoming new Australians.
