And my father Tam who passed away 3 years ago and who’s birthday is today AND MY favourite poem was “My Country” by Dorathea Mckellar.
Here is the most famous verse.
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!
