Kakadu (cockatoo) Northern territories

We all can learn a lot from this great wilderness
Aboriginal lands now still today
The wild extremes of Nature truly paramount
And managed in a very expert way
In scorching heat in tumultuous rains
This really ancient land
Is open to the visitors
And is managed by their hand
Every inch of the park is policed and checked out
Great dangers do exist there and must be
Eliminated where its at all possible
That appears the glorious strategy

Poachers represent a costly problem
Introduced species also tend to be
Feral animals damaging the environment
All can create havoc so the key
Is be there be there on the spot to counter
Lots of wildlife is affected by
Pointers that reflect their sensitive nature
And the tourists they also need to rely

The jim jim and twin falls is quite some area
And the lagoons below them can attract
Crocodiles and so this cannot happen
For tourists would get eaten and thats Fact
So traps are laid and helicopters track them
And shoot them if they get up there they will
Otherwise be taken onto farms where they will stay
For surely crocodiles and born to kill

Such a wealth of wild life in the rivers and the pools
Attract the poaching vessels who maybe
If not detected soon enough can steal tons of Barundi
Which is not good for the aborigine
Many years of study and work practice
Has given them the knowledge that they need
And so these teams go out each day to practice what they preach
And everywhere they look and they can read
The situation rapidly and certainly do and are
Redressing all the negatives that would otherwise would mar
The environment completely every little thing
If left unchecked can damage and that would only bring
Losses to the area so clearly they earn their bread
Through the six seasons of every year and that all of them are fed
The aboriginies live by foraging so protection is a need
And they have to stop encroachment which otherwise might lead
Through the natural environment so primarily they do
Work alongside nature helping it win through

This is an an ancient land where long before the people did
Paint and carve on all the rocks it kind of lifts the lid
On humanity this land we see these rocks and gorges they
And evidence of the ancestors who walked a similar way
