Old Illowa Poem by Francis Duggan

Of the coastal Moyne Shire a gem in the crown
Illowa between Warrnambool City and Koroit Town
A coastal undulating at most times green countryside
Where in all Seasons Nature's peace and beauty abide
To the descendants of the Dreamtime Australia's first race
Tower Hill in Illowa is a sacred place
To the Gundijtmara people a great sense of pride
That beyond the Moyne Shire is known far and wide
What can be said of Illowa that has not been said before
This beautiful place by the Pacific shore
Home to long billed corella and yellow tailed black cockatoo
And emu, koala, echidna and wallaby and grey kangaroo
And for it's natural beauty it is widely known
Old Illowa does have a charm of it's own.
