VALLEY GOLD
Gold is where you find it
How carelessly it spills
Warm gold Winton wheatfields,
Sun gold Chiltern hills,
Wattle gold the Warbies
Where turquoise parrots wing,
The lovely river valleys
Of the Ovens and the King.
Sudden blaze of poplars,
Bright's burnished beacon spires,
Sunset flame on Feathertop,
Hotham's frozen fires.
Amber promise of the vineyards,
Pale honey taste of spring,
The lovely river valleys
Of the Ovens and the King.
Shadow dappled cattle,
Sweet summer breath of hay,
Almond blossom, Eldorado,
Citrus, Wangandary way.
Rainbow shimmered bushland,
A bellbird's silver ring.
The lovely river valleys
Of the Ovens and the King.
