Tibooburra Corner Country
In the rugged outback country out in far west New South Wales,
there’s a place a man can always feel secure.
Where old fashioned values are embraced and mateship still prevails.
Where the men are strong and women still demure.
You can let your kids roam freely round the country, ‘cross the land
and you know they will always be safe and well.
They still value family living and good people lend a hand
They’ve still got the time to stop and yarns to tell.
Way out in the corner country by a fire of gidgee coal
Where the air is fresh and clean as it can be.
Campfire smoke scented by gum leaves drifts from near the water hole.
It’s a tonic to an old ringer like me.
You can see the country changing as you travel ‘cross the land.
An ancient Dreamtime place of rocks and sand and shale.
Forty thousand square kilometres of outback country grand
where the cockatoos and desert pea prevail.
Yes I’ve travelled far and wide mate, seen the country at it’s best.
Watched the flooding rivers sweep across the plains.
but I've seen it to at flood time when your resolve it will test;
a vast inland sea that's fed by pouring rains.
You can keep you city suburbs and the bustle of the trains
frantic crowds who push and shove to make their way.
I love the corner country with it’s open rolling plains.
Yes Tibooburra is the place I long to stay.
