Lyrics

Pushin' ever westward, across the great divide
Beyond the Darling River, towards the outback sky
The lawless and the brave, searchin' for a dream
When all they found was sand and stone, where rivers once had been
They tried to follow nomads, like ghosts in desert dreams
And suffered in a sunburnt land, down in the last frontier
They sent them from the motherland
Into their greatest fear
To live and die for freedom's cry
Down in the last frontier
A drover rides, in search of work, across the sweeping plains
A farmer kneels, in a hungry church, as his children pray for rain
Back in a land across the sea, they found another war
They asked the Anzacs to believe, in what they're fighting for
And they sent them to another land
Into their greatest fear
To fight and die for freedom's cry
And for the last frontier
People in the lucky land, who searched for paradise
Are reachin' out for somethin' more, and don't believe their lies
The promises of hope and work, still ringing in their ears
The hungry and the homeless cry, down in the last frontier
And they sent them to another land
Into their greatest fear
To live and die for freedom's cry
And for the last frontier
The promises of hope and work, still ringing in their ears
The hungry and the homeless cry, down in the last frontier
Oh-oh-oh, the last frontier
Yeah-yeah-yeah, the last frontier
