I thought have bought this was internet fake. It’s not:
Uraba lugens is nicknamed the mad hatterpillar because of its distinctive exoskeletal feature.[4] Every time it sheds the head portion of its exoskeleton, the exoskeleton stays attached to its body. Over time, developing through its life span, the head grows bigger and sheds increasingly larger exoskeleton shells, which build upon each other.[5]
I read every line as 4 syllables of which the 2nd and 4th are stressed. The last line is 7 syllables and can be read as two more lines of 4 beats: (pause) I am AN / aus-TRA-li-AN.

Fits perfectly that way in my opinion.

We are one but we are many
And from all the lands of Earth we come
We wear old heads, that we have moulted
I am. You are. We are Australian.
