Old Koroit Town Poem by Francis Duggan

Oh sing me a song of old Koroit Town
It surely does have many claims to renown
Where the legends around Celtic and Indigenous cultures have grown
And for it's links to Ireland it has become widely known
Tower Hill the inspiration of story and rhyme
A volcanic valley old in the Dreamtime
That echoed to the sound of the didgeridoo
Where the tribal hunters hunted the kangaroo
A Town of two pubs, a post office, a superstore and a primary school
Fifteen minutes by car from the City of Warrnambool
In South Western Victoria's potato growing countryside
For it's hospitable people it is known far and wide
For it's cultural history Koroit is well known
And one can say it does have a charm of it's own.
