Tower Hill Home To

Tower Hill home to koala, emu, wallaby and gray kangaroo And the big dark brown parrot known as yellow tailed black cockatoo Where on cavities on the cliff face long billed corellas their young do raise In a place with strong links to the Dreamtime of long by gone days Where on long gone Summer evenings in the shade of the trees The Gundijtmara people had their corroborees The bones of the long deceased tribal elders in unmarked do lay And no sound of a didgeridoo in Tower Hill today In Tower Hill in the valley with cliffs all around To the Gundijtmara people it is sacred ground Flocks of wild duck on the lake there at all times of year Where the bugling songs of the black swans one often does hear A valley that has inspired song, story and rhyme With strong links to the people of the Dreaming time A valley that has survived the ravages of drought and of fire In Victoria's south west in the coastal Moyne Shire.
