The Outback

Endless horizons, where the earth meets sky,
Golden dust devils twist and fly;
In the outback’s arms, this land of emu and deer,
Each sunrise ignites a wonder held dear.

Eucalypts standing tall, rugged and free,
Where kangaroos leap, and the wild bird sings;
Rivers meander through ancient terrain,
As echoes resound of the thunderous rain.

Here is a beauty both fierce and grand,
A testament to time, carved by hand;
So let us cherish this wild, open place,
For in the heart of the outback we find our grace.
