Whispers of the Outback

Whispers of the Outback

(Ode to the beautiful Outback)

In the vast, red heart of the land, Where the sun paints the sky with hues so grand, The whispers of the Outback sing, A timeless song of the earth's own ring.

Kangaroos leap at dusk's sweet call, Their shadows long, stretching tall, Across the plains where spinifex grows, And eucalyptus in the breeze gently blows.

The rock stands mighty, Uluru red, A sentinel of stories, by the ancients led, Echoes of Dreamtime in silence dwell, In this land, ancient tales to tell.

The stars above, a Southern Cross bright, Guide the wanderer through the night, The Milky Way, a river in the sky, Where the spirits of the land fly high.

In this quiet, the world seems small, Nature's cathedral, grand and tall, The Outback, with its harsh embrace, Reminds us of life's relentless grace.
