In The Home Of

In the home of koala, black wallaby and gray kangaroo far south

Of the fields of the badger and brown hare  and the waterways of the brown trout

And far south of where years ago i went to school

I am ageing in the coastal lands near Warrnambool

Perhaps i will never climb on Clara again

Or walk in the fields in the wind that bring rain

To that beautiful spot where the waterways meet

In that green countryside by the town of Millstreet 

In the home of emu, galah, echidna, corella and weerloo

The birds known to many as yellow tailed black cockatoo

I am learning new things of Nature every day

We never stop learning in truth one can say

Far south of where i grew to love Nature when i was a boy

Learning of her ways today i enjoy.
