Koroit Of The Moyne Shire Poem by Francis Duggan

Koroit a Town in South West Victoria that is famed and widely known
For it's links to Irish and Indigenous culture it does have a charm of it's own
The Koroitians are warm and friendly people with a sense and pride of place
And they never make you feel a stranger even though you are of different race
To Koroit i'm a newcomer though i do not feel that way
I feel happy and at home there and there i do hope to stay
Till the Reaper claims my life's breath on some future night or day
Since death is a part of living and in that we don't have a say
I feel happy in old Koroit it is home from home to me
Near to Warrnambool and Towerhill, Port Fairy and Killarney by the sea
To grow old in the Town of Koroit is part of my life's destiny
It is a great old place to live in with that few would disagree
As a Town of hospitable and friendly people in the green old countryside
Koroit in South West Victoria has become known far and wide.
