I'M a Flamin' Aussie

From the sands of Palm Beach To Uluru and Barrier Reef, In the large caverns of Jenolan When I've climbed on down beneath, You see I always get this feelin' No matter what I do, That I'm a flamin' Aussie I feel it through and through. When I climb The Three Sisters They seldom have their say, The quietest girls I've ever met Rockin' up Katoomba way, Or when I'm on the Nullabor With the heat and pesky flies, I'm seldom left feelin' flat Even when the engine dies, You see I always get this feelin' No matter what I do, That I'm a flamin' Aussie I feel it through and through. When I'm fishin' at Hat Head And the blighter takes the bait, Or when I'm on the Spirit Goin' cross Bass Strait, Once when in the Daintree Findin' where that rare bird went, Or when I'm in the Dandenongs Tryin' to pitch my tent, You see I always get this feelin' No matter what I do, That I'm a flamin' Aussie I feel it through and through. As I cross this vast country I realsise I might be lackin' sleep, I think I need new sandshoes Swear blind I'm wearing out my feet, Still I always get this feelin' No matter what I do, Green and gold gets me excited Even though I feel true blue.

Thanks very much Charlie, You did well to understand it if you're not Australian because there are sites in the poem that possibly only Australians would know, so you did well reading it and enjoying it---kind regards----John
