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.
