Lyrics
Australia Is The Place
[Verse One]
Australia is the place, the place where I was born.
A land that is rough, wild, rugged and free.
From the tropical gardens to the spinifex plain.
From the rising of sun and settling of the rain.
[Chorus]
Honey ants, snotty gubble, widgetty grubb and marlu.
Sandalwood, mulga tree, mallee root and kulkurla.
Uluru, Bungle Bungle to the Great Barrier Reef.
There is no other place, I would rather be.
[Verse Two]
Australia is the place, the place where I grew up.
A land that is vast, wild, rugged and free.
From the raging of the rivers, to the hot summer day.
From the rising of sun and settling of the rain.
[Chorus]
Honey ants, snotty gubble, widgetty grubb and marlu.
Sandalwood, mulga tree, mallee root and kulkurla.
Uluru, Bungle Bungle to the Great Barrier Reef.
There is no other place, I would rather be.
[Verse Three]
Australia is the place, the place where I lived.
A land that is tough, wild, rugged and free.
From the mountainous valley to the breakaway range.
From the rising of the sun and settling of the rain.
[Chorus]
Honey ants, snotty gubble, widgetty grubb and marlu.
Sandalwood, mulga tree, mallee root and kulkurla.
Uluru, Bungle Bungle to the Great Barrier Reef.
There is no other place, I would rather be.
There is no other place, there is no other place
There is no other place, I rather be.
