Happy Australia Day 2017 Poems- #Verses1-
This is an old land
For ever nurtured and nourished
by the spirit of the Rainbow Serpent.
The land of the Darug people,
Of the Darginung and the Dharawal,
The Gundungurra and the Guringai.
An old land.
This is the new land of the convict and the refugee,
Of the European settler,
Of the Asian and the African,
The American and the Islander.
It is the golden hope-filled land.
A hope-filled land?
This is the silent sun-baked land
Of the gibber plain and granite outcrop
Of the waterhole and the rain forest
Of native title and pastoral lease
Of skyscraper and empty reservoir.
A golden land?
This is a land battered and blackened by bush fire
But look! a land of grass trees green-shooting
in the still dark-smouldering ashes;
Of wildflowers in the sun-heat-blighted desert
And of cities glistened smog-free by an autumn wind.
A sacred land!
This is the Dreaming land, the land of spirit ancestors
Of campfire and corroboree, of rock art and cave painting
A land of mosque and temple, of prayer book and philosophy text
A land of tribal elders and politicians.
And how slowly we have learnt, 60,000 years slowly, how to live with this land
And how slowly we have learnt, 200 years slowly, not to abuse this land
And how slowly we are learning, day-by-day slowly, how to share this land.
We who are black of skin, and white and brown and yellow
And sunburnt pink
Native and newcomer
Blue-eyed and brown-eyed and black-haired and fair-haired
We will live in harmony in this land
Because this is the Land of the Rainbow Serpent
And we are the Rainbow People.

I guess you never notice
But I love this great big land
I love its sheer beauty
It's so big and bloody grand
You have the Blue Mountains
And the Great Dividing Range
You have the Stirlings in the west
And the Flinders are so strange
And then there's the Grampians
And the Hamersleys are there too
They're so full of iron ore
The miners love them too
Then you have our rivers
The Murray comes to mind
A longer one I don't think
You could ever find
Then you have the Avon
It runs so fast in flood
It only has a stony bottom
Cause it washed away the mud
Then you have our deserts
They're all so hot and dry
You have to keep on waving
To keep away the flies
But when it rains out there
The wild flowers come to life
With all the colours of a rainbow
That stretch from sky to sky
It really is a wondrous place
This great big land of mine
From the mountains to the oceans
And all that's bound in time
And you just know damn well
It's the best you have ever seen
Because a better place there has never been.

Happy Australia Day 2017 Poems- #Verses3-
The Irish have St Patrick's Day
The Yanks July the fourth
The French love their Bastille Day
Which they love with all their worth
We celebrate Invasion Day
We stole someone's land
Why we celebrate it, I just don't understand
So why not have a national day
One all can celebrate
I propose Federation Day
That's a perfect date.
- Daniel Collins
I love this land Australia in, oh, so many ways
The pristine beaches, clear blue sky and endless sunny days
But most of all I love the people that she calls her own
The lucky ones so fortunate to call Australia home
I love the way we’re all embraced no matter where we’re from
Whether we’re a Kiwi, Scot, South African or Pom
I love our laid back attitude, where no ones too uptight
Our optimist outlook of “no worries she’ll be right”
I love the way we’d rather say G’day than say hello
The way we give a mate a nickname just by adding ‘o’
The way we love to have a crack and punch above our weight
And stick tight to the golden rule of always help a mate
I love our sense of humour, the dryness of our wit
The brave young men who went to war just to do their bit
The way we know the Don’s Average, the way we love Merv Hughes
The way we’ll back an outsider and not care if we lose
The way we worship Boonie when he hasn’t played for years
The way we have our friends around for barbies and for beers
The way when things are going bad we say “it could be worse”
The way that no one knows our national anthem’s second verse
I love how we do deeds expecting nothing in return
I love how much we care about those ashes in that urn
I love the passion of our fans, I love that we love sport
The way our team can make us feel ecstatic or distraught
I love our language; love the phrase a technicolour yawn
I love that we can all lay claim to Cathy, Hoges and Dawn
I love how we have different ways to spread our vegemite
I love the way that none of us gives up without a fight
And that to me is why this place Australia is so great
And why we have so many things that we can celebrate
She may have natural beauty that extends from coast to coast
But the people are the things about this place I love the most

MY COUNTRY
A poem by Dorothea Mackellar
The love of field and coppice,
Of green and shaded lanes,
Of ordered woods and gardens
Is running in your veins,
Strong love of grey-blue distance,
Brown streams and soft dim skies,
I know but cannot share it,
My love is otherwise.
I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains;
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror-
The wide brown land for me!
The tragic ringbarked forests,
Stark white beneath the moon,
The sapphire misted mountains,
The hot gold hush of noon,
Green tangle of the brushes,
Where lithe lianas coil,
And orchids deck the tree tops
And ferns the crimson soil.
Core of my heart, my country!
Her pitiless blue sky,
When sick at heart around us
We see the cattle die-
But then the grey clouds gather
And we can bless again
The drumming of an army,
The steady soaking rain.
Core of my heart my country!
Land of the Rainbow Gold,
For flood and fire and famine
She pays us back threefold,
Over the thirsty paddocks,
Watch after many days,
The filmy veil of greenness
That thickens as we gaze.
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.

THE MAN FROM SNOWY RIVER
from a ballad by Andrew Barton “Banjo” Paterson
There was movement at the station, for the word had passed around
That the colt from old Regret had got away
And had joined the wild bush horses – he was worth a thousand pound,
So all the cracks had gathered to the fray.
All the tried and noted riders from the stations near and far
Had mustered at the homestead overnight,
For the bushmen love hard riding where the wild bush horses are,
And the stock-horse snuffs the battle with delight.
There was Harrison, who made his pile when Pardon won the cup,
The old man with his hair as white as snow;
But few could ride beside him when his blood was fairly up
He would go wherever horse and man could go.
And Clancy of the Overflow came down to lend a hand,
No better horseman ever held the reins;
For never horse could throw him while the saddle-girths would stand –
He learnt to ride while droving on the plains.
Happy Australia Day 2017 Poems- #Verses6-
And one was there, a stripling on a small and weedy beast;
He was something like a racehorse undersized,
With a touch of Timor pony – three parts thorough bred at least
And such as are by mountain horsemen prized.
He was hard and tough and wiry – just the sort that won’t say die
There was courage in his quick Impatient tread;
And he bore the badge of gameness in his bright and fiery eye,
And the proud and lofty carriage of his head.
But still so slight and weedy, one would doubt his power to stay.
And the old man said. “That horse will never do
For a long and tiring gallop – lad, you’d better stop away,
Those hills are far too rough for such as you.”
So he waited sad and wistful – only Clancy stood his friend –
“I think we ought to let him come”, he said;
“I warrant he’ll be with us when he’s wanted at the end,
For both his horse and he are mountain bred.”
