Hill covered in snow gums, valleys rich with flora and fauna and bright summer and snow-filled winter days are part of Bomala's life.A majestic theme represents the spirit of the high country with pulsing rhythms accompanying it. A lyrical vocal middle section is more contemplative and suggestive with its early pioneers reflecting on the rugged beauty of the area.
