Here In Illowa In Victoria

In the brown countryside far south of Millstreet Town To be in the World of the living my one claim to renown In the sunny mostly blue sky just a few clouds of gray In Illowa Victoria it is a beautiful day Far south of where the Boggeragh Mountains wear their hats of snow And the chill winds of Winter down the high country blow Above the paddocks and gardens of Illowa white butterflies flying about In the warmth of Summer in the sunny south Though in the northern hemisphere each dawn one nearer to Spring When deciduous trees will sprout new leaves and the nesting birds will sing And the swallows return home to breed from warm lands far away And the fields wear their beautiful wildflowers of May In the mostly sunny blue sky just a few clouds of gray Here in Illowa in Victoria it is a beautiful day.
