New Year greetings
Boronia, Austral’s sweetest flower,
I’m sending to convey
A goodly wish for every hour
By night and by day.
A dangerous visitor
[Description: Some embedded boronia in an outline in the shape of Australia, as well as an Australian bush scene of a man attacking a snake with a stick.]
