This Is The Great Land

This is the great Land of the wombat and roo And the emu as well as the white and the black cockatoo The echidna, koala, platypus and currawong And the magpie the bird with the beautiful song The kookaburra, the rosella and the lorikeet And the magpie lark who can be seen in the park off of the street And where the possums at night can be heard on the trees The sounds of their squabblings and snarling is carrying in the breeze The lyrebird the greatest mimic of them all In his own song incoporate every local bird call Far from the big cities in the brown landscape flat and wide The World's oldest known Race of people are known to reside The Land of the wallaby and the pale eyed crow Yet so little about it we can claim to know.
