~ Is God In Uluru ~
Will God be found in twilight's cool,
above Mount Kosciusko
Shall He ski the Snowy mountains.
 Is He everywhere we go

Will we hear Him by the billabong,
or off the beaten track of Uluru
Will He take us through the sandy desert,
or all the way to Timbuktu

Can He sail with us the river Murray,
or the Great Australian Bight
Across the rugged Tasman gulf,
led by the Southern Cross at night

Will we know His love in Alice Springs,
or at sunset on the beach
Along the golden coast of Queensland..
Is He ever out of reach

From within the northern canyons,
to each wondrous waterfall
In the dust storms, droughts and fires- 

God will always softly call

All down under, past the black stump
In the never never that we see
God is here to be adored,
within the heart of you and me

Uluru is the biggest monolith in the world
That means it is the biggest single rock,
- a 6-mile hike around the base, it's like a glacier:
only a percentage of Uluru
 is actually above the ground

"My Country"
I love a sunburnt country, a land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons, I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror-the wide brown land for me!

Though earth holds many splendours,
wherever I may die, I know to what brown country
my homing thoughts will fly.

© 1904 Dorothea MacKellar 1885 ~ 1968

~ Place Of Peace ~
Stunned by her beauteous golden vein, her open brazen face
I gaze across her great expanse, the wonders of His grace,
This country steeped in desert heat, where folk of every race may share,
Her fragrant gums of ghostly hue, to shelter every blossom rare

As earth meets earth, great chasms leap, from mountain peak to driest creek
And parrots screech to call us home, as heart to heart we long to meet
To rest at night and gaze the skies, where haze yet blinds to stars ablaze
Of God's own hand that flung His light, the southern cross His sign to raise

Thus bold, her dawn-rich colour leaps, from 'neath her dust we cry to clear
In prayer for rain to break her drought, to soak the earth and life appear
Through waves of wheat my heart will fly, with wild abandon it will come

The harvest ripe of blessing yet, where God would have His praises rung

For long I pray my country's soul, shall rise up from her sandy skirts
To lift their hearts in desperate need, for God to quench the raging thirst
Hold back this fearsome greedy gale, where sounds the pound of hammering nail
As ocean tides draw wider yet
For God's true Word to never fail

~ Waltzing Matilda ~
middle click MP3 ~
"Once a Jolly Swagman"
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong, 
Under the shade of a 
coolibah tree, 
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled, 
"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me? 
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda, 
Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?" 
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled, 
"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?"

Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong: 
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee. 
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker-bag, 
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me. 
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda, 
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me." 
he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker-bag, 
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me."

Up rode a squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred; 
Down came the troopers, one, two, three: 
"Who's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker-bag? 
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me! 
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda, 
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me. 
Who's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker-bag? 
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me!"

Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong; 
"You'll never catch me alive!" said he; 
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong, 
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me! 
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda, 
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me!" 
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong, 
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me!"
****************
Words by Andrew Barton (Banjo) Paterson
1864 ~ 1941, and the score by Christina Macpherson, at Dagworth Station, Winton,  Jan 1895.

~ I am the flag of Australia ~

"I am Australian" , Georgy girl, Waltzing Matilda, Advance Australia Fair 
 
My name is "Southern Cross"
 I fly atop the tallest heights..
 I stand guard in our courts of justice.
 Majestically I fly on institutions of might.

 I stand guard with honour in the world.
I stand for peace, honour, truth and  justice.
 I stand for freedom and for truth.
When I am flown with my fellow banners,
I wave with friendliness,
My colours bright against the sky of blue.

I am recognized  all over the world.
I am saluted, loved and revered.
I am respected - and I am loved.
I have fought in wars for 200 years.

I was there at Gallipoli, the trenches of Turkey,
World War 11, Korea and Vietnam.
I'm presently in the mountains of Afghanistan and the hot and dusty deserts of Iraq and wherever freedom's in demand.

I led my troops, I was dirty, battle worn and tired, but my soldiers cheered me.
I may have been burned, torn and trampled on the  streets of some countries,
It does not hurt for I am the Australian flag. 
I have helped to set them free.
I may have been burned, torn and trampled
in the streets of my own country,
And when it's done by those
whom I've served in battle -I do not cower.
I shall overcome - for I am Australia.
I have borne silent witness
to Australia's finest hours.

I am torn into strips and used as bandages for the wounded on the battlefield,
I am flown at half-mast

to honour the soldier who kneels,
I  lie in the trembling arms

of heartbroken parents
at the grave of their fallen child,

they grieve with love, 
they hold their Australian flag, as they cry.

Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free;
We’ve golden soil and wealth for toil;
Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in nature’s gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
In history’s page, let every stage
Advance Australia Fair.

In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia Fair.

Beneath our radiant Southern Cross
We’ll toil with hearts and hands;
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands;
For those who’ve come across the seas
We’ve boundless plains to share;
With courage let us all combine
To Advance Australia Fair.

In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia Fair.

~ Beneath The Southern Cross~ 

As a girl...
I slept beneath the southern cross
Beneath God's starry sky
Each night, I gazed into His heaven
The cross was there on high.

I knew He was my guide-
The cross was there to find,
Where Jesus loved and died for me
So I will never die.

It's picnic time, spring yippee-yay
Oh, neato, hot diggety dog,
Let's fire up the rusty barbie

And just enjoy the lot.

You bring the hot dogs
And sweet chili sauce,
I'll squash the ants, poor boys
And get the punch of course.

Would you want french fries
Hamburgers, maybe pickle relish too,
ketchup, catsup, aw meow
Will just mustard do.

Some crispy crunchy lettuce
Cucumber and rich creamy cheese,
Hot diggety dog, it's spring at last
We're blessed with all we need.

For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
  The flowers appear on the earth;
the time of the singing of birds is come,
 and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;
    The fig tree puts forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape, give a good smell.
Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.

~ He Ain't Heavy ~
Though I might feel tattered, torn
By the heat, I gotta bear,
My heart keeps beatin' on
'Cause folks 'aint heavy

When I wanna care.
When I plonk on down n' sigh
Wonderin' where tha strength'll come,
I say hang on
, they 'aint heavy
When I get to have God's love.

As a great road looms ahead
With lottsa miles to tread,
Dear Lord, lift it all, I pray
For life surely 'aint a load
If You c'n carry me all day.

In any trial, in any bitter situation, you are not alone,
not helpless, nor a victim.
You have a sheltering tree, a cross, shown to you
by the Sovereign God of Calvary. Whatever the
trial or temptation, it is not more than you can bear,
for it can be handled in God's strength.
Joseph knew, "You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good to bring about this present result,
to preserve many people alive" (Genesis 50:20).
'Kay Arthur'

The Opal, known to Indigenous people as the fire of the desert, is a powerful symbol of Australia's arid interior.

Australia is home to the world's highest quality, precious opal. The most famous is black opal from Lightning Ridge in New South Wales. Black opal has a colour play of red, green, blue, violet, magenta or yellow against a dark background.
Australia's opal fields are bigger than those found in the rest of the world combined. Opal production in South Australia, New South Wales and Queensland, was worth $47 million to Australia in 2007-2008 and supports many communities 

Australian opals are valued for their stability as well as brilliance. Opals from other countries are associated with volcanic rock and have high water content and tend to crack or craze during cutting or polishing,
or during hot or dry conditions.

Australia's precious opals include black opal, white opal, crystal opal, fire opal and boulder opal.

Down home Downunda
Where cookies are biscuits, biscuits are scones

buddies are mates
