They had their corroborees ages ago
In the shade of the trees near where the Tarwin flow
On it's journey through Tarwin Lower on it's way to the sea
This Southern Land has a black history,
They lived in South Gippsland till the white people came
And for this part of Australia they had another name
And they were displaced now does this not seem wrong?
The South Gippsland we know of was Land of Bunurong,
South Gippsland's first people all but an extinct race
They are not seen now in their once old home place
With their dingos they hunted the emu and roo
And far more about Nature's ways than us they knew
And that they were South Gippsland's First people that fact must remain
But some always must lose out for others to gain.
