Hamilton In Victoria

A nice enough day under thirty degrees
And the goldfinches chirping on the sunlit street trees
And through Hamilton Town a freshening breeze blow
Much more pleasant weather than a few days ago.

Hamilton in Victoria can lay claim to renown
As the Southern Grampians Premier Town
The one major Town in a huge brown Countryside
The paddocks around it they stretch far and wide.

The nearest big Town is Warrnambool an hour's drive by car
And from Melbourne perhaps four times as far
The home of many a rural artist and many a bush poet
Such people that make a place worthy of note.

Hamilton in victoria far inland from the sea
The people there seem rather friendly to me
So many greet you with a smile and hello
A nice place to visit and a nice place to know.
