Venus Bay Poem by Francis Duggan

Venus Bay



Not much commerce in Venus Bay the Village by the sea
But a good place for the working man and his wife and family
To spend their Christmas holidays and take in the ocean breeze
And laze away the afternoons in the shadow of the trees.

The road from Inverloch via Tarwin Lower that leads to Venus
Bay
You might say is uneven and narrow all the way
And many people see it as off of the beaten track
Though many who paid a visit there have been known to come back.

I too have been to Venus Bay the beach there even quiet
And the few shops there for business closed long before the fall of night
An ideal place for the suburban family for a week or longer stay
For to fish or swim or lay on the beach in the sun shine of day.

A place of peace and beauty and off of the beaten track
And I'm one of those people who has been to and gone back
To that place of little commerce good for the quiet holiday
In South Gippsland by the ocean beautiful old Venus Bay.
