The poem “Spirit of the Country” was written by Jason Capuano and Rohan Duncan on the way to the community of Yuendumu in the Northern Territory to deliver sports balls on behalf of the Have a Ball Foundation.

The poem tries to capture the emotion of the outback and soulful feelings it brings. The Australian outback is truly a magical place full of amazing scenery, people and history.
