Australia

Do you hear the magpies chortle
As the sun rises over the hills
Do you see a koala in a gum tree
As the wind rattles the leaves

Do you feel the sun on your neck
As the summer sun reaches high
Do you see the dust across the sky
As the dry takes hold of the red earth

Do you see the kangas and emus bound
As the cool of the evening settles the earth
Do you love this land with all your heart
As one who was blessed with Australia .

I dwell opposite of Australia, but when I think of Australia, crocodiles, jelly fish, funnel web spider, and taipan comes to mind — the spider being the worst, since the others could be avoided.
