What is a Brumby
What is a Brumby! well you might ask
 He's a legend,an Aussie, he's up to the task! 
 He can gallop all day with a bloke on his back , 
Over deserts or mountains, & never look back .
 He is game & unflinching when bullets whip past .  
He'll carry you home he is strong & he's fast. 
In 1915, thru the bloody world war 
This horse was our hero saved lives by the score 
But all this is forgotten by those who would say 
Now he is a feral no place can he stay! 
Let me say to these fools in the Canberra cluster  
Our brumbies will stay for that big final muster 
Their spirit will live in this land we call home
We''ll never forget where the wild Brumbies roam 
So what is a Brumby, well I reckon you know
He is a hero, with medals to show 
With statues & monuments throughout the land  
Salute to our heroes, our Brumbies ,last stand!
