We are Austradian

I came through on-line recruitment

from the dusty red soil plains

I am the ancient heart, the keeper of the

Austrade values flame

I stood against the import flow

and watched the container ship go

For over eighty years I'd been the first

Austrader
 I upgraded to business class
bowed down by USD$.70c exchange rate iron chains
I cleared the customs, endured the quarantine
and waited for the immigration rains

I'm a seller of IP. I'm a producer on a dry and barren

land short run,
totally unique, gourmet organic,
F&B product run

A business owner then a free man

I became an Austradian
 I'm the daughter of a mining industry digger who
sought the mother load,

of massive exports to China ,

the product became profitable on the long and dusty
road

I'm a child of the recession, we had to have,

I saw the good times come and go

I'm a bushy, I'm a battler

I am Austradian
 We are one, but we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come,
over 1000 of us in 61 countries

We share a export boomerang

globalisation, FTA dream and sing with
one voice:

I am, you are, we are Austradian

I am, you are, we are Austradian
 I'm a teller of trade show stories
I'm a singer of karaoke songs,
while hosting buyer visits

I am EA, BDM coaching success client

I paint the export journey gums

I am sustainable company on his high horse

I'm NEDP Kelly on the run

I'm the one who handed over to CSIG

and 140 overseas post chums
I am Austradian
I'm the hot opportunity from the desert
I'm the black soil of the plains

I'm the mountains and the valleys

I'm the drought and flooding rains

I am the rock, I am the sky

The EMDG rivers when they run

The spirit of this great land

I am Austradian
 We are one, but we are many
and from all the lands on earth we come
we share a dream and sing with one voice:
I am, you are, we are one Austradian.
