An Untamed Land

START An Untamed Land Sophie Boswell In a faraway continent, south of the equator, Lies an untamed land Where much of it has not been touched By the human hand This rugged wilderness beneath an azure sky Lies in the Snowy Mountains Where the purest water springs from Underground fountains ‘Heaven on Earth’ some people call it For it replenishes the soul Since climbing to the summit, is for some A lifelong goal The wilderness (or the ‘Never Never’) Is the home of the Aborigine Where nomadic tribes have left behind Australia’s unique history These first inhabitants Of this inhospitable country Believe they belong to the land The untamed land, where they feel free.
