It has been raining for a few hours every day of this week
And swollen in flood waters of brown the old Brucknell Creek
In the eucalyptus woodland of Ralph Illidge Sanctuary towards the Hopkins river flow
The age of the waterways none ever will know
The Brucknell Creek that has inspired story and rhyme
Has been flowing forever in the Seasons of time
On it's long journey to the Hopkins River near Warrnambool to the Pacific Shore
It has been flowing forever and will forever more
By the Brucknell Creek in Summer in the shade of the trees
Australia's first people had their corroborees
But the didgeridoo will not be heard today
Where the Brucknell to the Hopkins babbles on it's way
Swollen by heavy rain where the tall eucalypt grow
In Ralph Illidge Sanctuary the Brucknell Creek crawls along slow.
