From the podcast Fierce Girls

Dorothea loved to write. So much, that she would write stories and poems in her own secret code. She had a passion for the beauty of the Australian landscape, and her poetry was so good that people all over the world read it. Dorothea wrote one of Australia's most famous poems — My Country.

Written and narrated by nine-year-old Amalia MacKellar.
