Between Dimboola And St Arnaud

Miles and miles of countryside sun baked brown and gray And the nearest town from here sixty miles away Sun bleached grass on sunburnt ground far as the eye can see Stretching onward it would seem to eternity. Must have seen a million sheep or so 'twould seem today In the flat gray countryside bordering the highway Haven't seen a horse or cow or donkey wonder why Could it be for hairy creatures these lands far too dry I feel dwarfed by this great land I feel dwarfed and small Like an ant on sunburnt ground midst the grasses tall Men have gone lost in this land disappeared from sight Disappeared like little ant midst the grasses white. If you venture from your car make sure that you stay Within eyesight of the road of the motor way This no country for fool hardy out there miles of ground Men have gone lost in the bush and never more been found. Stopped our car to stretch our legs out there in the bush Only sound of buzzing flies in the silent hush Miles and miles of sunburnt grass not one patch of green Sheep and nothing else but sheep and no man to be seen. From Dimboola to St Arnaud one hundred miles or more I have seen more sheep today than I've ever seen before And I feel dwarfed by this great land I feel dwarfed and small Like an ant on sunburnt ground midst the grasses tall.
