Tower Hill

Tower Hill home to echidna and grey kangaroo
And emu, koala and yellow tailed black cockatoo
And many species of waterbirds far too numerous to name
It's wildlife for Tower Hill one of it's claims to fame
As a tourist attraction one of the best
Known to visitors from elsewhere to Victoria south west
Once a sacred place to the tribe Peek Wurrong
To an ancient history Tower Hill does belong
A couple of kilometres from Koroit Town
The narrow road in and out of the volcanic valley does wind up and down
Close to the Pacific Ocean in the Moyne Shire countryside
A place known to people in Countries Worldwide
Today in Tower Hill you may hear the warbling of a magpie or the calls of a cockatoo
But never the drone of a didgeridoo.
