Golden Wattle, Silver Fern
This is where the Emus and Kiwis mob together around the Boree Log.
Where we spin yarns of the Land Down Under and the Land of The Long White Cloud.
Of the legend and spirit of the ANZAC.
Of All Blacks and Wallabies.
Of Silver Ferns and Diamonds
The Aussie XI and the Kiwi XI.
And the friendly rivalry between them.
To talk about current affairs in Au and NZ.
It is also for friends of the Aussies and Kiwis to join in and learn what makes them both tick. Their lands. Their stories,and poetry, their art, and songs. Their histories both Dream-time and the new dreaming.
Aotearoa. -Maori -Land of the long white cloud.
There is no common Aboriginal word for Australia due to the many language groups before the arrival of the European.
The Golden Wattle is floral emblem of Australia
the Emu is Australia's symbolic bird
The Silver Fern is the floral emblem of New Zealand.
The Kiwi is of New Zealand's symbolic bird.

Called God Bless Australia.

25th of April 1915 the ANZACs landed at Gallipoli it is now 98 years later and we still remember their courage, perseverance and tenacity. But on this ANZAC Day we also remember all the men and women that gave their all including their lives in carrying out the work they had placed upon them by the events of their time.
The Ode
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.The Ode comes from For the Fallen, a poem by the English poet and writer Laurence Binyon and was published in London in The Winnowing Fan: Poems of the Great War in 1914. This verse, which became the Ode for the Returned and Services League, has been used in association with commemoration services in Australia since 1921.

It's raining on the rock,In a beautiful country
It's raining on the rock, Oh!what an almighty sight to see,
And I'm proud to travel this big land as an aborigine!
It cannot be described with a picture,
the memorising colour of the Olgas or the grandeur of the rock.
Uluru has power!
It's raining on the rock,In a beautiful country
A few lines from John Williamson's song "It's Raining on the Rock."
