Penshurst In July

Low clouds above Mt Rouse it is foggy and gray
It is wintry weather in Penshurst today
With the chill of July in the freshening breeze
And an air temperature high of a cool seven degrees
A volcanic history one of it's claims to renown
With an old rustic charm Penshurst's country Town
In the paddocks of Penshurst volcanic rocks and stones abound
No crops can be grown in unplowable ground
In Penshurst July is mostly a cold and wet time of year
But the warbling songs of the magpies are always pleasant to hear
Where life it is lived at a leisurely pace
In Penshurst Town in the Southern Grampians not a touristy place
Signs of past Mt Rouse volcanic eruptions can be seen for miles around
In the volcanic rocks and stones on the unplowable ground.
