The Kookaburra and the Illawarra Flame Tree

It's a beautiful sunny day
The Illawarra Flame Tree stands there with its leaves as red as blood
It's like a skyscraper that nearly touches the clouds
Kooka, kukka, kukka screams the cockatoo
It gently glides and lands on the flame tree's branch
The kookaburra sits solemnly on the branch
While he sits, he is shaded by its branches from the hot sun
