New Year's Eve 2015 In the Moyne Shire

It is warm in the Moyne Shire near coastal Warrnambool
In the shade of the tall trees the cattle crowd to keep cool
A weather temperature high for the day of thirty five degrees
And even a humid warmth in the strong coastal breeze
Blowing uphill across the brown paddocks from Gormans Bay
In the early evening of the eve of New Year's Day
For many weeks El Nino the one who thrives on drought
In the coastal countryside out and about
Sucking every drop of moisture out of the dry ground
The paddocks brown, bare and dry in the coastal countryside around
The south western Victoria's coastal City of greater Warrnambool
Where the weather temperatures than this is often far more cool
And the lowing of a cow the only sound i do hear
On the very last evening of the old year.
