Kallista In The Early Spring

Pink blossoms blooming on the fruit trees at the start of a nice sunny day
From this wooded place on the high ground Utopia can't be far away
On a young mountain ash near to where I am standing the familiar gray butcherbird sing
I love it for it's Natural beauty Kallista in the early Spring.

Tom Roberts, Arthur Streeton and Fred Williams in old Sherbrooke lived years ago
Those who know anything about culture of these famous artists would know
As well as the famed Indigenous artist Lin Onus seven or eight years ago as a young man he died
He too a great talent of Sherbrooke and his fame is known far and wide.

One can understand why they choose to live in Sherbrooke as Sherbrooke has a soul of it's own
The giant mountain ash trees east of Melbourne one can say are very well known
For size they rival the redwoods of America in the Yarra Ranges from Gembrook to Upwey
They tower over all on the high ground the monarchs of all they survey.

It is such a beautiful morning with only a very faint breeze
And the weather temperatures are near to perfect from 18 to 20 degrees
The magpies piping in the woodland the currawong's voice to it has a familiar ring
And the rosellas chirp in the sunshine in Kallista in the early Spring.
