The Geriwerd Ranges

White people named them the Grampians but now known by their Indigenous name
The Geriwerd Ranges in South Western Victoria have World wide fame
Old hills very old even in the Dreamtime
They have inspired writers to story and rhyme
By the stony hills of Geriwerd in the shade of the trees
The local Indigenous people had their Corroborees
By their beloved hills their bones forever lay
Yet so little is known of their history today
To those dry stony hills where small hardy trees grow
The Seasons of Nature they come and they go
The harsh drawn out caw of the dark pale eyed crow
Or forest raven as some call them here one comes to know
From Dunkeld to beyond Halls Gap they stretch far and wide
The Geriwerd Ranges of the brown Countryside.
