A flat and open Country with far more brown than green
And from Country Town to Country Town few houses to be seen
Yet per kilometre Victoria is Australia's most populated State which only goes to show
How small the Nation's population is just twenty million or so,
A big and a wide Country with miles and miles of open space
A hermit in this Southern Land will always find a place
Remote from other Human Beings where Goddess of Nature reigns supreme
without having to compete for job and such for to boost one's self esteem,
The rainfall not nearly enough the farm dams are almost dry
The dry brown paddocks parched for rain beneath the Southern sky
To this the Winter of the year the weather gives the lie
Seems more like a day in early Spring than the middle of July
And white backed magpie on a blackwood tree his familiar song he sing
And it won't be long six weeks or so till the first breath of Spring.
