Our Song

May these "Guarding Gums"

Represent us all

Dear ones who've passed

And dear ones yet to come.

May these Graceful Gums

Flourish on this black soil plain

Proudly bending and bowing

To life's burdens and strain.

May their leaves whisper on gentle breeze

Words of love, tears and yes-ter-year

May their branches span through time

And bind us together, one family, one kind.

Grow, O Silver Gum grow!

Stand tall and stout and strong

And may forever God bless the Clair descendants

Many voices......Michael and Lily's Song.

To commemorate one hundred years of the Clair family at Jooro

1912 - 2012

Written by Cecilia Dickman (nee Clair)
This verse will be erected on a plaque among a grove

 of Moreton Bay Ash on the original

Homestead site at "Ashgrove".

The rough hut, home of Michael and Lily Clair
