A gum tree.
A proud Australian symbol.
Shoots running into the soil.
The Earth, a proud part.
A knowing tree.
A proud Australian symbol.
Roots spreading, welcoming the land.
The Earth, an integral part.
A living tree.
A proud Australian symbol
Offering shade to all.
The Earth, a crucial part.
A mighty tree.
A proud Australian symbol.
Calling to the weary
The Earth, a friend to all.
