OUR AUSTRALIAN GIRL
Song
We are all Australian girls, each one unique
Reaching out across centuries, far lands and seas
And even though I might seem different from you
If you take my hand let’s share history too.
Each of our girls has a story to tell
An adventure, a journey, a growing as well
Each one an Australian girl like you and me.
