The Peek Wurrong

To an ancient pre written history their history belong
Port Fairy's first people the Peek Wurrong
Thousands of years before the Town of Belfast became Port Fairy by name
For the coastal countryside now known as the Moyne Shire the Peek Wurrong had a different name
There is a memorial stone by the park in Port Fairy Town
To the people by the first European settlers who were mercilessly gunned down
By the colonizers from the North-lands Australia's first people were not treated well
They do have sad and tragic stories to tell
Of persecution from the invaders in the Country their ancestors had lived in for thousands of years
Their written history is of dispossession, suffering and death and tears
For decades under white law their basic human rights of them denied
But what has happened to them has happened to dispossessed people Worldwide
But the title of Port Fairy's first people will always belong
To the tribe who were known as the Peek Wurrong.
