From Warrnambool To Camperdown

From the City of Warrnambool to Camperdown
An undulating countryside of green to brown
Mostly a farming country grazed by cattle and sheep
With few root or grain crops for the harvester to reap
Between the City and the Town goats, alpacas and horses you see
Compared to sheep and cattle these animals are in minority
A pleasant drive even on weather on the side of cool
To Camperdown from the sea at Warrnambool
Through a countryside old in the dinosaur time
That has inspired story and ballad and rhyme
Through the land of corella and white cockatoo
Where the black tribes often hunted the grey kangaroo
And had their social gatherings and danced their corroborees
On warm evenings in Summer in the shade of the trees.
