| CALL OF AUSTRALIA |
| Can you hear it?, that tender voice,
It drifts through your heart and soul, It beckons to you, it beckons to me, To strive for that final goal. |
 |
| You may be city born and bred,
You may be country born, You can't deny that persistent yen, If you do, you are partly torn. |
|
| You gaze aloft at the cotton white,
You stare at the distant hills, And all the time, it whispers strong, 'Come home and get your fill'. |
|
|
|
| It pulls you to it's bossom warm,
It nurtures one and all, You can run, but you cannot hide, Or escape from Australia's call. |

| Happy Birthday Australia! |
|
|
|
| To feel the sun on a hot dry day,
To see the gum trees tall, To gaze at the oceans cool and blue, Entranced by it's vastness all. |
| I've wandered far on life's ups and downs,
I've seen the wonders tall, But all the while, no matter where, I felt that insistant call. |
