| The smart sophisticated air | I |
| Of flappers fresh from Town | J |
| - | |
| Healesville calls you to her hills | B |
| While summer suns look down | J |
| To join the carnival that fills | B |
| With merriment her town | J |
| Then as late autumn's shadows creep | K |
| Across the western plain | H |
| And winter snowfalls clothe the steep | K |
| She settles to her beauty sleep | K |
| Till springtime comes again | L |
