The Land Of

The Land of the grey and the red kangaroo And the Land of the black and the white Cockatoo Of wombat, koala, emu, lyrebird and currawong And kookaburra by sight or voice one could not get wrong. The Land of the World's oldest known indigenous race A people imbued with a strong sense of place Descendants of the people of the Dreamtime Their culture is the source of story and rhyme. The Land of the wattle and pittosporum and eucalypt tree A big Land of many races of the southern sea A Country that the sun shines on every day And a Country from other Countries far away. The land of rosella, wallaby, echidna, platypus and lorikeet And the pee wee who lives in the park off of the suburban street And of magpie the bird with the beautiful song Your guess is Australia and you are not wrong.
