Fond memories of South Gippsland I always will retain <br />And in my flights of fancy I visit there again <br />In Summer the hills of Archies Creek are looking gray to brown <br />Overlooking the ocean at Kilcunda close to Wonthaggi Town. <br /> <br />On the coastal drive between Inverloch and Cape Paterson many a breath taking view <br />And beautiful Harmers Haven it's equals are so few <br />Thousands of centuries before Gippsland got an explorer's name the home of the Bunurong <br />They celebrated their great love of Nature in their corroborees and song. <br /> <br />Of my many walks in Baxter's Land fond memories I recall <br />The grey roos bounding up the hill through the bracken knee high tall <br />From the bird hide near Baxter's Lake many water birds to see <br />In a Sanctuary for Nature for the wildborn and the free. <br /> <br />So many good things about South Gippsland far too many for to name <br />But the past has gone forever and few things stay the same <br />And I am getting older and to father time I bow <br />But the present is what matter and we do live in the now.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/fond-memories-of-south-gippsland/
