Penshurst In July

Low clouds above Mt Rouse it is foggy and gray It is wintry weather in Penshurst today With the chill of July in the freshening breeze And an air temperature high of a cool seven degrees A volcanic history one of it's claims to renown With an old rustic charm Penshurst's country Town In the paddocks of Penshurst volcanic rocks and stones abound No crops can be grown in unplowable ground In Penshurst July is mostly a cold and wet time of year But the warbling songs of the magpies are always pleasant to hear Where life it is lived at a leisurely pace In Penshurst Town in the Southern Grampians not a touristy place Signs of past Mt Rouse volcanic eruptions can be seen for miles around In the volcanic rocks and stones on the unplowable ground.
