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.
