Nature Lives Forever More

The high paddocks green in Springtime in the Summer does look brown
On the narrow mountain roadway that leads to Wonthaggi Town
Way back in the pre pioneering days on those old hills were many trees
Where Australia's first people lived and hunted and had their corroborees
For to create land for farming the pioneer farmers removed the scrub and trees from the high ground
Few trees nowadays for to be seen where in numbers they did abound
The new people brought with them changes to the high coastal countryside
And with the birth of a new culture the old culture sadly died
In  hidden graves in high coastal Gippsland the bones of the black tribes lay
They would not know the land they lived on if they returned to life today
The mountain road from Loch to Wonthaggi that often inspired the creators of art, story and rhyme
That i often used to drive on though i've not driven there now for some time
Near Archies Creek one can see the white waves splash on the Pacific shore
People come and go as always but Nature lives forever more.
