Children from Lindfield East Primary School in Sydney were asked to write a poem about aboriginal heroes.
Of aboriginal heroes
There are some near at hand
Like Lewis C. of Mumbulla
Who quietly took a stand
When loggers on their huge machines
Came to waste his land.
He stood there and refused to move
As they waited round a tree
His courage in the face of law
Was quite a sight to see.
He understands a principle
Big picture legislation
It's standing up for what is right:
Moral determination.
When whites recognise black sovereignty,
We'll share healthy conversation
With country, Goolaga and more:
Cathedrals of the nation.
