Ann: Intention to allow Goldsea Offers to lapse, page-7

This is My country.

This is OUR country.

This NOT to be Chinese land.

(Midnight Oil - My Country).



(Gw)

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.
---
An opal-hearted country,
A wilful, lavish land,
All you who have not loved her,
You will not understand,
Though Earth holds many splendours,
Wherever I may die,
I know to what brown country,
My homing thoughts will fly.

(Dorothea Mackellar)

Be Australian, Be Proud, Be United, Be Kind and Fair, Compassionate and Loving, for all OUR own Sisters and Brothers, for all time.

Protect our land.
