He [Crowe] recites a poem he always keeps in mind, a standard from "Clancy of the Overflow," (the Overflow being an area in Western Queensland):

"And the bush has friends to meet him/
and the kindly voices greet him/
and the murmur of the breezes and the river on its bars/
and I have seen the vision splendid/
of the sunlit plains extended/
and at night the wondrous glories of the everlasting stars."
