A Moyne Shire Winter's Day

The freshening breeze from the ocean in it has a slight cool sting On the fourth day of June three months from the first of the calendar Spring The rain from the gray sky is drizzling down On the green countryside five kilometers out of the town Though the flute of the magpie at times one does hear A typical day for the time of year In the coastal Moyne Shire between Koroit and Warrnambool The weather in Winter often wet and cool A countryside that surely could do with more trees As a windbreak from the gales and the often strong breeze That often blows inland from the Pacific Shore At speeds of eighty kilometers sometimes even more In early June and Winter three months from the Spring and in truth one can say That this is a typical Moyne Shire's Winter's day.
