The first draft of My Country was written in England when Miss. Mackellar thought lovingly of her home country, Australia. Dorothea Mackellar wanted the verse to express her deep and true love for her country. It was re-written several times before a satisfactory completion.
She resented the tendency of acquaintances in her youth to discredit Australia, and to refer to England as ‘Home’. As a young girl Dorothea was clearly aware of the variety and beauty presented by the Australian landscape. The majority of her poetry has taken its imagery from her love of the natural Australian scenery. The original title for “My Country” was “Core of My Heart”, and was the title used when the poem was first published in 1908, in the London Spectator Magazine.
