BELLA VISTA
A beautiful view , laying twixt and between
Those Seven Hills rolling, those pastures so green,
Elizabeth, wife of Macarthur, no less
In her husband's absence, a farming success.
Farm Bella Vista, historical land
A life long forgotten where farming by hand
forged out a nation for white settlement
which traditional owners to this day lament
Farm Bella Vista perched high on a hill
Standing forever, reminding us still
Steeped in our history yet seen by so few
Italian 'Bella Vista' - means 'beautiful view'
