Cape Paterson In South Gippsland Poem by Francis Duggan

Renowned for it's natural beauty and it's great scenery
Cape Paterson in South Gippsland that overlook the sea
A nice place for to visit if you are passing that way
And one could not find a more peaceful place for to grow old and gray,
By coastal holidaymakers it is not that well known
But Cape Paterson in South Gippsland has a charm of it's own
As near a place to Utopia as one might wish to find
The freshness of the sea spray is blowing in the wind,
In the quiet coastal Village in the early days of Spring
Upon the coastal banksias the red and brush wattlebirds sing
When compared to most other sea side places Cape Paterson seems quiet
And even in the holiday Season no loud parties that last into the night
In the quaint Village by the ocean that will never grow into a Town
Miles from the nearest highway where few cars pass up and down.
