In The Illidge Sanctuary

In Ralph Illidge Sanctuary on this sunny January day Utopia from here it is not far away A beautiful Summer evening with just a slight breeze The wood birds are singing high on the gum trees From where i stand on a manna gum somewhere nearby A male koala in loud grunts utters his territorial cry A message his neighbor male koalas cannot help but hear One reason of his borders that they stay well clear A voice of the woodland that one cannot get wrong The gray and brown bird of the unmistakable song The whistling song the gray shrike thrush does sing To listen to is such a beautiful thing In Ralph Illidge Sanctuary on a beautiful day Utopia from here cannot be far away.
