THIS LAND MY HOME

Description:

Sitting on the back steps of the Club Hotel Tambo, Central Queensland, stareing out at the vastness that lay before me,and thinking how lucky I am to call "This Land My Home" and to be able to enjoy the freedom that is so precious to our Great Land.

Lyrics:

I love Australia, this land is my home
The home of my father, where I love to roam
I've been to the top and the back of beyond
I've met some proud Aussie's who'd help you along

Out in the bush or down by the sea
just say the word, and that’s where I'll be
Singing along with the people you meet
Travelling all over, the land of the free,

The wide open spaces, the old country charm
The people will welcome you with open arms

The legends of ANZAC and the Vietnam war
Proud Aussie's stood under the flag they fought for
All of the heros, we've loved and we‘ve lost
The men and the women under our Southern
Cross

Down at the beach, or round gidje trees
just say the word, that's where you'll find me
Singing' with people in the big city streets
Travellin' all over, the land of the free
The lucky country from the rock to the reef
You’II learn our history from the people you meet.

Out in the bush or up high in the snow
just say the word and that's where I will go
Singing with people in the big city streets
Or just round a campfire down on the beach

I've been to the top and the back of beyond
I've met some proud Aussie's who'd help you along
The wide open spaces and the old country charm
I love Australia this land is my home
This land is my home
This land is my home This land is my home
