In the serene White Gum forest, where shadows sway and dance,
Emerald gum leaves flicker about like graceful butterflies in the spring.
The towering white trunks loom above Trowunna, the heart-shaped homeland,
Divulging the White Gum guardians of its history.
Each tree whispers its tales of time, inscribed deeply within its bark and leaves.
Yet soon, these voices may fade away into the crisp, solemn wind of forever.
Their last words, desperately pleading,
For but a chance to survive, just as they have done throughout the pages of time.
Before the feet of humanity ever walked upon their soil.
Soil that their roots lovingly embrace, pure and nurturing,
The Eucalypt blood vessels of Tasmania.
Suffering witnesses to the storms of time, they stand in resilience against mankind.
Fearing that their dancing shadows may soon disappear
And whisper their history no more.
