When we knew that some rooms<br />
for us they'd found.<br />
We climbed the rock next day<br />
when the sun came out to stay<br />
And we huffed and puffed as up<br />
the face we toiled.<br />
Thanks to our driver John we<br />
found , Yes ! that all our fears<br />
were groundless<br />
When that mighty rock our effort<br />
s would have failed.<br />
We staggered tired and dumb<br />
thru ' the sand and passed each<br />
gum.<br />
When down to the ground again<br />
we s lid<br />
Our badges we proudly wore<br />
and though our legs and tails<br />
were sore<br />
We gr inned and bore the bruises<br />
that we hid.<br />

About I.T.C.'s and their frustrat<br />
ration. what primes say is<br />
without foundation<br />
And we found this out on visiting<br />
Ayers Rock .<br />
In Fertility Cave we rubbed the<br />
rock, in Maternity Cave we sat<br />
on the block<br />
So in future we will populate the<br />
Nation.<br />
Back to Gillen and the tents then<br />
more packing and thence<br />
Once more aboard the Ghan we<br />
were borne.<br />
If we jumped the rail s no more<br />
we'd reach fair Frankston<br />
shore<br />
By early on next Tuesday morn.<br />
