In Park Lake Pertobe Poem by Francis Duggan

The sun behind gray clouds is hidden away
On a sunless though warm humid February day
And in the shallows of Lake Pertobe thousands of small fish school
In weather quite calm for often breezy Warrnambool
For it's waterbirds and natural beauty Lake Pertobe is widely known
A Warrnambool coastal park with a charm of it's own
A place i could gladly visit every day
Earthly Utopia from here cannot be far away
For it's scenic beauty Warrnambool it can lay claim to renown
Park Lake Pertobe a beautiful place in a beautiful town
Where from the roll of the tide of the Pacific you hear
And a nice place to visit any time of the year
To sketch and write of it the artists and writers Park Lake Pertobe inspire
And of singing of it's beauty one never could tire.
