See Australia… in your own New RV!!!

Come travel ‘round Australia, and see its wondrous sights
From the outback to the cities, from the daytime to the nights
Where the splendour of our country, will swell your heart with pride
And fill your eyes with beauty, that will keep you satisfied.

Whatever takes your fancy, from van to motorhome
Enjoy the spoils of freedom, wherever you may roam
A basic camper-trailer, or fancy caravan
The memories last a lifetime, so travel while you can.

The leisure of this way of life, true nomads on the road
Without a care for anything, without a fixed abode
It’s great for relaxation, to come and go at will
The freedom and the friendships, your dreams you will fulfil.

From the Gulf of Carpentaria, to the Great Australian Bight
From Carnarvon ‘cross to Byron, the country’s one delight
From the Nullarbor to Tassie, to the splendid Darling Downs
From the glamour of big cities, to the quiet country towns.

So take a good vacation, with no worry and no care
To visit all the places, in I’ve Been Everywhere,
See the dawn on Kosciusko, and the sun set on the Rock
No boss and no commitment, no phone or wake-up clock.

From the desert panorama, and the life in Lightning Ridge
To the opera house in Sydney, the harbour and the bridge
No special place to be, it’s a carefree way of life
You’ve worked and you deserve it, no worries and no strife.

Come travel ‘round Australia, and see its wondrous sights
From the outback to the cities, from the daytime to the nights
Where the splendour of our country, will swell your heart with pride
And fill your eyes with beauty, that will keep you satisfied.

shame there is no mention of the leaks, lousy workmanship, unsafe wiring, unsafe gas installations, warm food in 3way fridges that dont work properly and make people sick, air conditioners that fail and dont work properly. All parts of the joy of owning an Aussie built van. New van later this year will be Chinese van with Chinese compressor fridge.

Gee Faulic I didn't know we made 3 way caravan fridges and caravan airconditioners in Aust.
I also didn't see the poem talking about how well built anything is.
Why can't you see the poem for what it is and enjoy - rather than rant on about something that has nothing to do with the original post.
There is a lot of difference between
‘Human Being’ and ‘Being Human’.

Where do you think Air Command air conditioners are made?
Going to fit state of the art Korean inverter split system in new Chinese built caravan.
