The Spirit of Sydney is eons old
Timelessly ancient, its history bold
Upheld by the traditional custodians of the land
The Gadigal people of Eora Nation truly made a stand
Eora was their nation and Eora means ‘here’.
When the British asked ‘where are you from?’ they stated, ‘here, here’.
For this place was their place and always will be
The essence of the local Aboriginal people builds the Spirit of Sydney
So let’s take a look at this glorious land
View her magnificent beauty from wherever we stand
See the Sydney Harbour with its iconic Bridge and House by The Rocks
A National Park with islands, foreshores and great swimming spots
Sydney’s urban landscape, a jumble of styles and mediums
Portrays 200 years of architectural movement, a visual timeline therein
The city’s history, cultural influences and progress is revealed
Defying its lack of cohesion, increasing interest in Sydney is understood
The Spirit of Sydney encompasses vast community
A multi-cultural nation with rich diversity
Offers a dynamic, global meeting place to the people of the world
Lit by stunning harbour vistas - a sight to behold!
