Dunkeld

As near to an Earthly Utopia as one could wish to see
Those rugged old mountains pre-date history
To the very first Aussies strong links it can trace
Dunkeld in the Grampians is a beautiful place.

For the Grampians Geriwerd is it's indigenous name
And those old rugged hills the white fellows can't tame
It's sheer rugged beauty inspire poets to rhyme
Geriwerd it was even old in the Dreamtime.

Dunkeld the old Village on the higher ground
Within sight of where Nature's untamed beauty abound
By those old stony hills in the shade of the trees
The Indigenous People had their corroborees.

The cry of the currawong the caw of the crow
Their voices were heard many centuries ago
By the first human caretakers of this Southern Land
The workings of Nature they did understand.

Dunkeld an old place with a charm of it's own
More beautiful than it I can't say I have known
Renowned for it's beauty and great scenery
An Earthly Utopia it does seem to me.
