Old Tarwin

Old Tarwin deep and slow silently moves along

Towards the Pacific shore in the land of Bunurong

To saltwater ever onwards winding it's way

To it's journeys end near the Town of Venus Bay

Old Tarwin that has inspired the writers of song, story and rhyme

Was very old in the Dreaming Time

Long before the birth of the first dinosaur the waterway now known as Tarwin did flow

On towards saltwater dark, deep silent and slow

Of old Tarwin time never has become the foe

Long before the arrival of the first people thousands of centuries ago

And since there has been many a yesterday

Old Tarwin towards the ocean was crawling it's way

The last of the Bunurong to time have long gone

But old Tarwin to the ocean forever flows on.
