Castlemaine

The once home of Jack Doolin the famous and notorious bush ranger
To history Castlemaine in Central Victoria is not a stranger
Of decades long gone the men who mined for gold there the inspiration of song and story
Of triumph and failure in their quest for glory
An old Colonial Town that is known to many
Of another town quite like it i do not know of any
A Town home to people of different races
To live in one could not find many better places
Many of the people of Castlemaine in their ways quite charming
The warmth in their greetings one can say disarming
A Town i have visited often but would like to live in for longer
With every visit to Castlemaine my bond to it grows stronger
A town that was once home to many a gold miner
Than Castlemaine in Central Victoria you will not find one finer.
