I've Travelled A Bit

I've travelled a bit south of place I call home
But I've not been to Rio or Paris or Rome
Or I've not been to L A or Kabul In Afghanistan
No I'm not what you might call a well travelled man
The great Wall of China I can't say I've seen
But by my old home on the ditch of the bohreen
The primroses, bluebells and snowdrops bloomed in the prime of May
A memory of beauty that's with me today
And in Mt Eccles in Victoria where at night the brown boobook owl cries
On the wooded volcanic cliffs above old Lake Surprise
I heard a male koala on a manna gum nearby
Call out for a mate beneath a starry sky
I've not been to Moscow, Montreal or Bombay
Though from my old Hometown I live far away.
