Dennis Wallace - Queensland

From the Gulf in the North.
And across the Cape York,
To where the corner deserts stretch as far as you can see.

From the Spinifex on the Barkley.
To the Western downs near Barcey,
To where the sugar-cane grows beside a big, blue sea.

From the Granite Belt of Eukey.
To the magic of the Daintree,
where the rainforest reaches up to touch the tallest tree.

From Hungerford to Doomadgee.
From Bamaga to Killarney,
and all the country in-between.

From rainforests to desert sand.
The beauty of this land,
is home to wonders wild and free.

They talk of sights abroad.
On foreign, distant shores,
but this corner of Australia is where I'd rather be.

This land that I speak of.
The one I dearly love.
Is sunny Queensland,
the only home for me.
