In This Coastal Countryside

 In this coastal countryside near the City of  Warrnambool
None care if i was a dunce of the primary school
In a town in view of hills from here far away 
Where i would be a stranger to many today

Here mine to many is not a known face
Yet i feel at home in this beautiful place
That is home to echidna, koala, emu and grey kangaroo
And white long billed corella and yellow tailed black cockatoo

In this beautiful part of the coastal Moyne Shire
What more for in life could anyone desire
Where the flute like warbling song i often do hear
Of the magpie who sings every day of the year

Home is where the heart is as the wise one did say 
And home to me is where i am living today
Far south of the place i lived in long ago
Long before time that ages did become my foe.
