In the spirit of the games

I just thought I'd post a little verse I have really come to like the past week or two since hearing it in the ad on tv for the Indian Pacific to tour 'the land you'll never see'. And coupled with me being the proudest damn Australian right now and feeling so patriotic thanks to our amazing athletes in Melbourne, I'm going to post it.

I Love a Sunburnt Country

I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of drought and flooding rains,
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel sea,
Her beauty and her terror -
The wide brown land for me.
