Little Trees

I'd like to take a walk in the woods

Entrance to the Arboretum

Come with me, do you think you could

We'll find a tree that we can climb

We'll have fun all afternoon

Chorus:

Little trees need a chance to grow

It takes time and care                            

They're a lot like us you know

So many kinds of different trees

They look like one big family

Big ones, short ones, baby ones too

I'll name this one after you

It'll be a long time before he

Is tall and strong like a grown up tree

For now he's just a kid like us

Playing out in the woods

Still in its infancy, the Arboretum in Canberra is a perfect place to visualise what is to come. With great views across the city, the apparent bare hills are dotted with little trees that, in the years ahead, will provide leafy walks, stunning colour and smells to excite the senses. We'll go back in a few years to note the change.
