Koroit Poem by Francis Duggan

A Town where many claim Irish ancestry
Koroit in Victoria is now home to me
A mile from Tower Hill of indigenous history
And less than five miles from the Pacific Sea
Compared to Australia's big cities a small town not widely known
Koroit in Victoria has a charm of it's own
Most local Koroitians have a sense of place
Though their ancestry to Ireland many of them can trace
One can say of Koroit 'tis a livable Town
A nice place to live in and to settle down
Even a stranger in Koroit a welcome does find
The most of it's people are decent and kind
Koroit in Victoria is where i live today
And any negative thing of it i do not have for to say.
