  

 As I lie at rest on a patch of clover in the Western Park when the day is done. I watch as the wild black swans fly over with their phalanx turned to the sinking sun; And I hear the clang of their leader crying to a lagging mate in the rearward flying, And they fade away in the darkness dying, Where the stars are mustering one by one.
~ by Banjo Patterson~ Although now seen around the world in animal sanctuaries and zoos, black swans are indigenious to Australia and are the official emblem of Western Australia.
