It Is Said In Tower Hill Poem by Francis Duggan

It is said in Tower Hill strange things happen at midnight
The ghosts of the black tribes dance in the moonlight
In the home of echidna, koala, emu, wallaby and roo
In the dead of the night one can hear the didgeridoo
Echo in the stillness under the night sky
When the hunting boobook utters it's mopoke cry
Where Tower Hill's first people hunted and had their corroborees
In the prime of the Summer in the cool evening breeze
Their ghosts in the valley of Tower Hill remain
And at midnight they dance in the wind and the rain
When the scream of the barn owl familiar and shrill
Echoes in the starlit sky above old Tower Hill
Where it is said the didgeridoo can be heard in the dim moonlight
In the Budj Bim's old home in the dead of the night.
