Oz

An island cont'nent
rich in bounty, good at heart -
that land Down Under!

I appreciate you!
Fairness and mateship, I learned:
Thy ode to ANZAC.

Convict chains
set me free.

My favorite lines from Advance Australia Fair -

"Our land abounds in nature's gifts
of beauty rich and rare..."

"Beneath our radiant Southern Cross
we'll toil with hearts and hands
to make this Commonwealth of ours
renowned of all the lands..."
