A Wet Day In Tower Hill

On the valley of Tower Hill three kilometers from Koroit Town The rain from the gray sky is drizzling down With the first of the calendar Winter less than two weeks away The weather quite wet and windy for late Autumn and May The spiritual home of Gundigitmarra Tower Hill's first race To their descendants it remains a sacred place Where their ancestors hunted and had their corroborees On warm Summer evenings in the shade of the trees In Tower Hill everything has not changed which is a good thing In the drizzling rain the magpies do sing Centuries ago the Moyne Shire's first people often did hear The warbling songs of the birds who do sing every day of the year On a wet and windy evening for late Autumn and May Even for the time of year quite an unpleasant day.
