Sherbrooke Forest is located
in the Dandenong Ranges in
the state of Victoria,
Australia, near where I live.
It is one of my favourite places

I come here to Sherbrooke Forest
Where my spirit feels so free
Here I sit beneath the canopy
Of a magnificent old tree

Mother Nature's brush strokes
Paint a picture so serene
As I look down towards the valley
I see varying shades of green

Wisps of smoke rise from the chimney
Inside a cabin, an open fire
With picture postcard scenery
Here, there is so much to admire

As I inhale the cool, clean air
I hear a bell-bird's unique call
I watch the tiniest blue wren
Hop around the forest floor

An abundance of activity
Goes on all around me
Here, I've found the perfect haven
Which offers peace and harmony
