I belong (Gundungurra is my home)

Gundungurra is my home with family
everyday we see buru (kangaroo) in the sunset
we laugh with the gungunyal (kookaburra) in the trees
watching us
the gula (koala) are just waking from a long nap
there are wumbarrung (black cockatoo) flying in the sky above me
saying ‘there will be rain soon’
they lead me to a river with heaps of turtles
waving at me
we try to run with the emus but
they’re too fast for us.
