A town and farm yarn

There's a little town in Ouyen Vic.'' Under 1200 people so
I'll tell you bout aspects; of it sort'a quick!
There's Clarys slate bush etching, in three d real fine.!
And a little hairdressers that comes to mind.?
The conveniance store.' And theres some more.!
Like the old English banknotes found under 
Its timber hall floor.' Also Kingdon chickens thats out a bit'
Where I worked a time 'come to think of it?' There
Was that pet Emu..Dang! I've forgot its name?
 It would steal your food, just take it plain.' Away
From your hand, on the way to your mouth!!
Maybe thats the reason i left the South? I reckon
I'll get back there one of these days..And lay a
A fresh sandwich upon that old birds grave.!

Great to know you found this Interesting Joe Dimino..I scarcley do justice to the carving Though (which was passed onto Clary by I think his uncle? an insomniac who spent many hours finely etching it' the trees and fauna stood out each frond Lined to perfection and there were Aboriginal hunters holding Spears and i think bushmen? lyre birds tails extended Kageroos every mammal also I would guess its in a Musem these days Clary lived A few doors from the hairdresser If my memory serves me well.?
