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.
Dorothea MacKellar
We went for a trip to Cowra for the weekend. So I had a go at
landscapes for a change ,as there was so much beautiful countryside
along the way
Julieanne Wiseman, and 42 other people added this photo to their favorites.

Brilliant! When I was younger I worked as a jillaroo and had to fix windmills from time to time. This just brought back so many memories - thank you!!!!

We sang this last night with our "singaustralia" choir and the thought occurred to me that you could illustrate each line with a photo, in a set, or Gallery!

Psycho Oz!

Australians all let us freak out,
For we are spooked you see;
We've a scary land, we don't understand;
Our home is so creepy.
Our land's red heart is sort of weird
There's freaking nothing there!
We cling to the coast, a British outpost;
Freak out Australia, yeah!
I love a psycho country
A land of badass plains
Of whacko mountain ranges
Sick droughts and random rains
I lover her weird horizons
I lover her aggro sea
Her tarty mad bitch manner
The looney land for me!
