In South Australia

In South Australia it is warm for most of the year Though even to the sub tropics not anywhere near A temperate climate it has we are told Though there it never does get near to cold Out bush in South Australia it is warm and dry Where for weeks on end the sun burns in the sky From sun and wind the paddocks looking brown and bare With scarce enough of grass on them for to feed a hare A flat and dry countryside far more brown than green Where few trees and animals are to be seen On all roads out of Adelaide many miles to the nearest town Through flat open country bare looking and brown Where in Summer the weather temperatures often reach forty degrees With warmth in the sunshine and warmth in the breeze.
