As the sun rises on the horizon,

Australia wakes up in the red dust from Uluru

And the sea salt from New South Wales gets carried

Up the coast to where the rainforest meets the sea.

The elders past and present show me the way to the reef.

We share a meal on the coast that is used for special occasions.

They tell me the stories of their ancestors, about their beliefs,

I wish I could be one of them.

The whale makes his way down the coast

To Tasmania,

For the journey of life.
