Casterton

The high paddocks above Casterton the color of hay
On a warm and humid late January day
On a day that is even quite warm for the time of year
Amongst the great stories of Casterton one we often do hear
Is the story of Jack Gleeson the founder of the Kelpie breed
Of great working farm dogs he helped to plant the seed
But Casterton has many claims to renown
It's friendly and hospitable people make it a very welcoming Town
A Town in the dry country sixty kilometers from Hamilton and thirty from Coleraine
The countryside around Casterton is always in need of more rain
Houses there cheap to buy which makes it a livable place
In where a stranger is greeted by many a smiling face
For those traveling to Mt Gambier in South Australia it is Victoria's last Town
The roadway in and out of Casterton winds up and down.
