Home

The waves were rippling gently 

Clumps of seaweed washed up on the beach

The heap of sea swelled silently

Magpies swopping left to right 

You can see your reflection in the billabong as birds circle slowly

A snake from the bushes quick as a cheetah, and a kookaburra singing on the branches 

My hand runs across the flaky gumtree while a koala is nibbling on the gum leaves

I don't know how to explain it 

It's just how it is 

My home, my country 

Which I will treasure for thousands of years.
