Native Australian

Famous quotes containing the words native and/or australian:

    When I think of my own native land,
    In a moment I seem to be there;
    But alas! recollection at hand
    Soon hurries me back to despair.
    William Cowper (1731–1800)

    Beyond the horizon, or even the knowledge, of the cities along the coast, a great, creative impulse is at work—the only thing, after all, that gives this continent meaning and a guarantee of the future. Every Australian ought to climb up here, once in a way, and glimpse the various, manifold life of which he is a part.
    Vance Palmer (1885–1959)
