Our own Australia

It’s been a long long road

Two whole years in all

From the coast to the desert to towns and the bush

We’ve pretty much seen it all.

 

      We love the long long highway

      Shimmering in summer heat

      With truck stops and picnic tables

      Where we could sleep, party and eat.

 

I’ll miss the dark blue sky

Which stretches on forever

I’ll miss the green sea, and the red sand

And the fishing (which was best ever).

 

      People ask “The highlight?”

      And to be honest, I don’t know

      Every day brought adventure

      Somewhere new to go.

 

So if you have the chance

Pack up your car and van

And wander along our highways

As slowly as you can.

 

      You’ll meet the most amazing people

      And learn about our culture

      You’ll see history and nature side-by-side

      In this, our own Australia.
