When Last I Was In Wonthaggi

The hills of Archie's Creek from the long dry spell brown
When last i was in Wonthaggi the former coal mining Town
This is going back in time eight or nine years or so
And in Seasons this does seem quite a while ago
Many sons of Italy and places elsewhere
Came to Wonthaggi to mine for coal there
In the Wonthaggi cemetery their last remains lay
Near where many of their descendants are living today
In the countryside the spiritual home of the famed Bunurong
They have become the legends of story and song
By the South Gippsland hills their hidden graves lay
And it is said that at midnight their ghosts do live today
And the music of their didgeridoos can be heard in their corroborees
As they dance in the night in the freshening breeze.
