This Country

I live in a land
of vivid hues
Of arid places
and wonderful views.

Of rugged mountains
and opal seas.
A land of weird animals
and eucalypt trees.

A place of drought
and flooding rains.
Of burnt out bushland
and wheat covered plains.

A land so special,
it invades your soul,
your heart & your mind.
- It just takes control
