(This poem was written by Granny)
I
love this land Australia
The place where I was born,
This land of brilliant
sunsets
And beauty in its dawn,
It weaves a kind of magic,
So ancient,
yet so new,
It seems to make you part of it
And becomes a part of you,
The mystery of its mountains,
The gold of glistening sand,
Their
splendour is unequalled
Throughout this sunburned land,
So stand up
tall Australians,
Stand up so tall inside,
And say, "I am Australian",
And wear the name with pride.
