Straya



A land of beauty, with a heart so bold
Australia, a treasure to behold

With its golden beaches, and its towering trees
It is a land, of wonder and ease

From the Great Barrier Reef, to the Outback so vast
Australia is a land, that's truly unsurpassed

With its vibrant cities, and its sleepy towns
It is a land, of contrasts and sounds

From its bustling markets, to its peaceful coves
Australia is a land, that everyone loves

With its friendly people, and its laid-back vibe
Australia is a land, that truly comes alive

For it is a land, of great diversity
Australia, a land, of boundless opportunity
