Sich things as that. Yeh don't mean kangaroos?

'Ome in my land.'

Awake, awake, when Shandon rings into the crisp Australian air
Be glad or grave the tale it brings, we shall be there, we must be there.
When duty calls, when pleasure waits, the tongue of Shandon, day by day,
Peals out the message of the fates that guide the dear old A.C.K
