‘AESTHETIC AUSTRALIA’

Gimme ‘Ghost Gums’ by a river of dreams
Gimme shining sun on this land supreme
Gimme this land, earth of red ochre and gold so pure
the minerals a plenty and gemstones bore.

Gimme clean rivers and skies blue clear
A cod fish from the river ‘Murray’ abundant in by-gone years
Gimme the brilliant stars against the southern sky night
and aurora australis - bright.

Gimme the life and let me dwell

in my land Australia I love so well.
