Thank you R.C!
aus·tral
adjective
1. southern.
2. ( initial capital letter ) Australian.
I used "austral" as another clue to the setting of the poem. A southern place, Africa. Funny though, how you native speakers react to the word. It seems as if it's not as intelligible as Dictionary.com suggests.
I like the word and would like to keep it, but please let me know if it's seriously out of place... I'm not a native speaker of English myself so sometimes I will have to take your word for it
