Echoes of The Dreaming

A tribute to the indigenous Aboriginal people of Australia & an expression of my love for my country as a fourth generation Australian with Scottish ancestry.

I love a wondrous country

surrounded by her sea;

God’s centre of the land

in peace and harmony.

Snowy mountain peaks

and sweeping plains beyond.

Echos of the dreaming;

early kookaburra’s song.

Hidden sparkling rivers;

ageless trees of ghostly gum.

My land, my home serene;

caressed by glorious sun.
