Australia Day holday today , so this is a re-post

Australia True Blue

Across various landscapes
Mixtures of scenery
Dry plains of the deserts
To rainforest greenery

Blue and snowy mountains
To the golden sand
With breathtaking beauty
Over a vast wide land

From the cities to outback
Traditional and new
The shearing shed yarns
Spins Aussie true blue

Where the fauna is unique
Koala and kangaroo
Platypus and tassie devil
Kookaburra and potoroo

From state to the territory
To those tropical isles
Its a proud sporting nation
With outdoor lifestyles

The dampers and billy teas
Or  the Aussie barbeque
Its all fair dinkum Australia
Downunder , true blue
