From Where The Dark Tarwin Flow

The ways of the City he is coming to know
The young man from the place where the dark Tarwin flow
On it's way to the ocean near Venus Bay
Though in Ferntree Gully he is happy to stay
One reason for this is love he has found
In the suburbs of Melbourne far from his home ground
In a dark haired young beauty of twenty three
He is in love and happy and of any care free
In his twenty fourth year he has found his soul mate for life
In a pretty young woman who has agreed to be his wife
He visits south Gippsland for the brief holiday
But nearer to Melbourne he is happy to stay
Far from where the dark Tarwin waters do flow
In the home of the wombat and the pale eyed crow.
