Australia

Yellow is the colour of wattle.
And the bottle brush is red.
I know this because they grow where I was bred.
The oceans are rough and the hills are high.
That's what you get told in a lullaby.
Animals that are venomous.
But if you're careful they’re not that dangerous.
Orange dusty bushland.
But no matter where you are, it's a wonderland.
Country towns of plenty.
And thrift shops are many.
Australia is a place like no other.
With its hot summer weather.
And a cool winter breeze.
Australia means everything to me.
