A January Day In The Moyne Shire

On a warm day in the Moyne Shire of over thirty degrees

The warm air full of the buzzing of bush flies and bees

With a humid warmth in the coastal breeze

The cattle lay chewing their cuds in the shade of the trees

In the mostly blue sky just a few clouds of gray

And above the sunlit paddocks white butterflies seemingly play

And with the sun on their dark wings chirping as they fly

Welcome swallows are chasing flying insects in the sky

In the coastal lands between Warrnambool City and Koroit Town

The grass a few weeks ago green has turned to brown

Wafting in the breeze of a warm Summer's day

The sweet scent of grass mowed for silage or hay

On a warm Summer's day in mid January

With the temperature gage close to thirty three.
