Long Even Before

 Long even before the first people to it came
The countryside now known as the Moyne Shire was without a name
And the waterway now known as the Moyne to the ocean did flow
How old is this Country would anyone know?
This Country that has inspired the artists and the makers of  story, song and rhyme
Was so very old even in the dinosaur time
It's true written history will never be told
This far southern Country in time is very old
It was there long before the arrival of the people who played the didgeridoo
And long before the birth of the first kangaroo
About it we learn something new every day
We never stop learning in truth one can say
The one who would even guess the age of this Country would be telling a lie
It was there long before the first human was born and will be there long after the last human will die.
