Exploring the Last Frontier
Australia is wild and fascinating
when one rides across a river
with water galloping on rocks...
like those adventurous cowboys
exploring the last frontier.
Brown and white horses
mounted by haggard men are extremely cautious...
fearing alligators and crocodiles that usually
straddle on rivers banks,
or hide into shallow waters.
They continue their long journey
behind the rainforest and rugged peaks
cloaked with delicate wax flowers...
what they'll find will astonish their senses:
revering the beautiful land given to them.
