Autumn is the second out of four paintings from the About A Land Far, Far Away Series telling stories about an Australia's flora, a beauty of its native flowers and plants.
Hey, wave! Take me to bays of plenty,
Show me whales and great coral reefs,
Tell me your legends, stories and myths.
Hey, wind! Bring me straight to the bushland,
Show me birds that are laughing and loud
And an endless summer all year round.
Hey, bird! Fly me over the mountains,
Over the wattles and flowering gum
To where I would spend all my years to come.
Hey, wind! Take me to the horizon,
Show me the country and its red rocky heart,
Where I want my new life to start.
Australia is the name
Of my dream country far, far away!
Australia, you’ve made me strong.
You are the country to which I want to belong.
Hey, Storytellers! Write down your stories!
Tell us about your struggles and glories.
Share them with the rest of the world
As Every Great Story Has To Be Told…
As every great story has to be told…
As every great story has to be heard.
