Where The Bass Waters Do Flow

A cool Autumn breeze above the flat paddocks do blow In the coastal countryside where the Bass waters do flow In ancient South Gippsland to the Pacific shore Where it has flowed forever and will forever more A Land that inspired the makers of story and rhyme That was very old even in the Dreamtime Where the first Australians hunted and had their corroborees Before the arrival of the northern races going back the centuries Today in South Gippsland you will hear the call of the weerloo But never the sound of a didgeridoo To the Pacific shore from it's source far away The Bass waters babble by night and by day Through a Land that was old even in the Dreamtime That has inspired the makers of story and rhyme.
