English text

This is Australia, stark bare landscapes
dotted with shrubs and gumtrees
straight roads that seem to never end
roads leading to busy bustling cities
with manicured lawns despite the drought.

This is Australia!
Nursery rhymes, from England
food from Greece and Italian cafes
women wearing headscarves
and men with skullcaps,
This is Australia!

Vivid blue sky scorching summer sun,
This is Australia!
young, bold and new.
