My Australia
...sitting on a wide verandah of a "Queenslander"house, eating pumpkin scones, Lamingtons, Tim Tams and Pavlova...
...enjoying Vegemite toast and Sanitarium Weetbix for breakfast...
...depicted in the paintings of Darcy Doyle and John Bradley...
...tree-lined streets of Jacarandas and Red-flowering Tea-trees in the Spring...
...rows of Terry Towelling cloth nappies waving in the breeze on the Hills Hoist...
...spotting sleepy-eyed koalas in the gum trees...
...Snugglepot and Cuddlepie
...Dot and The Kangaroo
...Listening for the Kookaburra to herald the morning birdsong at the break of day as all creation praises its Maker...
...The Cane Fires...
...the call of the Magpie, Bell Bird and even the mournful sound of the Rainbird at flood times and cyclone season...
...Hubby in the garden with his Victa Mower...
...standing teary-eyed at the tomb of The Unknown Soldier...
...Singing the little known THIRD verse of our National Anthem, declaring Christ our Head and Cornerstone...
...looking with pride at our national flag, remembering our ties with Mother England and The Magna Carta, which protects our religious freedom, and The Southern Cross Constellation, which hangs in our Southern skies, showing the world exactly, where Christ was pierced for our sins...
... The Great Southland of the Holy Spirit...
I pray that all Australians here and overseas will have a happy Australia Day tomorrow!
