Yesterday it was sunny around twenty degrees
With a pleasant warmth in the freshening breeze
Rustling in the leaves of the tall mountain ash trees
Where the wild birds of nature pipe their melodies
But in Olinda on the high ground it is different today
Behind the gray clouds the sun hidden away
On a wet windy day in October in Spring
Weather-wise such changes twenty four hours does bring
Though weather-wise change occurs quickly in mid spring of the year
To Olinda on the high ground earthly utopia seems near
Where beautiful crimson rosellas and king parrots in great numbers abound
In a place of natural beauty on the higher ground
In Olinda in October in the home of the wattle and great mountain ash tree
There is so much natural beauty for to see
The rhododendrons in bloom are lovely to behold
Though the day it is windy and rainy and cold.
