Inverloch In South Gippsland Poem by Francis Duggan

Inverloch In South Gippsland



For your ideal holiday location Inverloch is such a place
For to sunbake on the wide beach there is always heaps of space
Free of dirty factory chimneys puffing black smoke to the sky
'Tis a place well worth a visit and a place you will enjoy.

Inverloch in coastal South Gippsland it is lovely in the Spring
In the Parklands on the gum trees all day long the magpies sing
And the pleasant song of the blackbird a familiar song to me
And the gray shrike thrush is piping as he flies from tree to tree.

Once the hunting, fishing and meeting place of the Indigenous Bunurong
To the culture of the Dreamtime their history belong
They had their festive gatherings in the shadow of the trees
Where they laughed, sang and made merry and danced their corroborees

Inverloch in South Gippsland a nice place to holiday
Or to spend a few days by saltwater for a weekend getaway
From the polluted and noisy suburbs where the air is never clean
Though the birds too sing in the Suburban Parklands and Suburban parks are green.
