The Old Wannon River

In the Southern Grampians by night and by day
The brown Wannon waters slowly wind their way
In the home of the gray roo, long billed corella and dark pale eyed crow
The ageless old waterway babbles on slow
The age of the Wannon none does seem to know
Long before the age of the dinosaurs towards the sea it did flow
The river that inspired song, story and rhyme
Has flowed to the sea through the centuries of time
Long before the first human being looked on the light of day
The rivers were flowing to the sea far away
In the warmth of the Summer in the shade of the trees
Australia's first people had their corroborees
Since then many Seasons have come and have gone
But the old Wannon River towards the ocean flows on.
