Camperdown Poem by Francis Duggan

In South West Victoria an old country Town
It has been awhile since i have been in Camperdown
The people there friendly as the word can be
At least anyhow that's how they seemed to me
In the surrounding countryside at most part of the year green
Natural beauty in abundance to be seen
Though to everyone there mine was a stranger's face
In Camperdown i could live and not feel out of place
In it i did feel such a good energy
A town that does live on in my memory
I'd love to visit Camperdown on a nice Summer's day
When the surrounding paddocks scent of freshly baled hay
And nesting birds singing on the sunlit trees
Their pleasant notes carrying in the freshening breeze.
