Core of my heart \u2013 My Country<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The land we walk along
The beautiful sunset glows
The rain tapping its song
Her awesomeness and terror
She is crazy and wild
Her beauty is meant for me
To us we are her child<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Valentina G, Mariam F, Valentina F<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Core of my heart – My Country<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indigenous songlines
Are told around the campfire
Country bound by shorelines<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Charlie J , Evelyn W, Leah L<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Core of my heart \u2013 My Country\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where wildlife run free
The wind that blows through the night\u00a0
Blowing upon the trees
The shiny blue sunny sky\u00a0
The richness of the sea\u00a0
Reflecting all the sunshine\u00a0
Just made for you and me\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Mariah S, Lara T, Harriet I<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Core of my heart \u2013 My Country<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sun shines on our land
Our animals run freely
The waves crash on soft sand
Land and us, never apart
Standing strong for this place
The tranquil blue ocean glows
It will always embrace<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Ava S, Ovilia C, Molly D<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Core of my heart \u2013 My Country<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uluru is for me
A land filled with memories
An island bound by sea
Years of flood, fire and famine
Her rigid terror reigns
But beauty glows through the dark
Mountains and sunlit plains<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Annabelle W, Anastasia B, Natalie M<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Core of my heart \u2013 My Country<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The carmine-coloured land
The country\u2019s rich history
Hearts will forever stand
Core of my heart \u2013 My Country
Forever learning things
Elders belong to the land
Knowledge is what they bring
Core of my heart \u2013 My Country
All the diversity
Animals roam the country
Here, for eternity
Core of My heart \u2013 My Country
It\u2019s a mirror-like sea
It\u2019s blue bright and beautiful
Forever standing free<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Ella N, Georgia G, Pippa D<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Core of my heart \u2013 My Country<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kangaroos on the sand
The lizards, abundant here
Rain drumming on the land
The abundant, blazing sun
Uluru stands for me
The lavish land we all share
The beach, and endless sea
Core of my heart \u2013 My Country
The trees dance in the wind\u00a0
Aboriginals stand free\u00a0
Past policies have sinned<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Elyana L, Mila A , Georgii N<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Core of my heart \u2013 My Country<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A land of sweeping plains
My heart belongs nowhere else
A land of droughts and rains
Her jewel sea will always shine
Lands pure of heart and gold
My heart belongs nowhere else
Nature\u2019s gifts, uncontrolled<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
