The Snowy Anthem

By Paul Dion © 02/06/2006

Verse 1

This place we call “The Snowies” sits high above the plains.

The rooftop of Australia, where majestic splendour reigns.

And blest with nature’s gifts sublime, the font of life therein.

Australia’s crowning jewel. A place that we call home.

CHORUS

One hundred thousand workers from thirty foreign lands,

Came to tame “The Snowies” and quench those arid plains.

One hundred thousand workers, all working side by side,

Came to tame “The Snowies”. And build Australia’s pride. 

Verse 2

This place we call “The Snowies”, a wild and rough terrain,

Where once the highland stockmen roamed and Brumbies ran the range.

And when you ask Old Timers now, they’ll say it’s for the best,

But sad eyes tell of memories, that won’t lie down to rest.

CHORUS

One hundred thousand workers….etc.

Verse 3

This place we call “The Snowies”, so precious and so rare,

The mountain mist, the winter snow, the clear and crystal air

This special place “The Snowies”, entrusted to our care.

We’re the guardians of “The Snowies”, a place that we all share.
