O Australia

O Australia, we meet you yet again
Far from our loved ones we are here to train
A land of riches, a land of beauty
Far are we from our beloved city

The long winding roads like rivers a'flow
Laden with gravel made the going slow
Gum trees spread out in an endless vista
From the plains to the shores of Sabina

Sunsets so gorgeous they can make one stare
Deep blue orange they are without compare
Bathing the landscape with her glow so bright
The full moon walked with us throughout the night

Skies a deep blue with not a cloud in sight
Skies so clear the stars brighten up the night
Days so hot under the shade we sit tight
Nights so cold the sun our only respite

Kangaroos caught in the cruisers bright light
Wandering wallabies jumping in fright
Ebullient emus escaping the glare
Wild horses and cattle, just stood and stare

Warm sleeping bags cocoon our cold bodies
The sleepless nights turned us into zombies
Cold morning runs on long dusty gravel
The fact that we did it, was a marvel!

From the cool of Sam to the dust of Growl
To buckin' broncos and leopards on the prowl
Chattering chinook and super puma
Unleashed airborne troops onto Atila
