MY AUSTRALIA

Australia. My Land, one nation and free,
an island of beauty encircled by sea.
Great mountain ranges deserts of gold,
mysterious secrets yet to be told.

Plains so extensive rivers and gorges
beauty and splendour a canvas it forges.
Snow-capped escarpments waterfall spun
crystals of brilliance vibrate in the sun.

Myriads of rainbows banking in flight
birds in a spectrum of colour and light.
My land, Australia much more to behold
an artistic canvas, green, silver and gold.
