Australia True Blue

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

Blue and snowy mountains
To the golden sand
Breathtaking in beauty
Over a vast wide land

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

Many of the fauna unique
Koala and kangaroo
The Tasmanian devil
Platypus and potoroo

Each state and territory
To those tropical isles
Proud sporting nation
With outdoor lifestyles

Dampers and billy teas
Or a Aussie barbeque
Fair dinkum Australia
Downunder , true blue

Dang you make it sound more beautiful and inviting than the commercials do. Sounds and reads like contentment for sure and the following two verses would do it for me......

Many of the fauna unique
Koala and kangaroo
The Tasmanian devil
Platypus and potoroo

To those tropical isles

I would love to spend about a month or more just exploring and learning about some of your unique natural gifts. Very much enjoyed the read.

Hope,
loved the images and I can so relate. It sounds like a poem postcard.
