All under the stars of the Southern Cross

A great land of the South,
A Federation of Commonwealth.
Six states and two territories,
United with courage and values,
Diverse by languages and cultures.
All under the stars of Southern Cross.

A land of uniqueness and diversity,
From the beginning of time.
Then a land of convicts,
From an Island far away.
Now a land of different cultures,
All under the stars of Southern Cross.

A land of wild, wild beauty,
With friendship and mateship.
Also of closeness and fear,
For great innovations and change.
But mates will pull through,
With courage and unity,
The night will pass, the dawn will arrive,
All under the stars of Southern Cross.
