Australian Gum

Australian Gum as tall as the sky,

with it's crusty white bark; solid and dry

Home to animals big and small.

The gallahs make a nest whilst budgies perch,

The Australian Gum is superior to birch.

Taller than mountains; smooth as the sky.

The Australian Gum brings a tear to the Australian eye.

Gumnuts a-plenty give us Aussie joy.

The Australian Gum grown on Aussie soil,

You may plant one if in the dirt you toil.

Australian Gum, a mighty old beast

Koalas choose it as a place to feast.

Leaves rustling in the bush

The tranquil sound goes like 'whoooooosh'.
