“Fire” Mountain or Wingen

It was thought to be volcanic
A mountain burning long
The Aborigines called it Wingen
Fire still going strong
They thought a tribesman caused it
Who lit a fire and he
Was carried off by the evil one
Back in history
Unable to escape
He thought to warn his friends
Lit his fire stick
The mountain burned
As a warning the smoke ascends
But history confirmed
a Reverend Wilton
In 1829
Found it to be a coal seam fire
In a real deep mine
Burning some 6000 years
The oldest known coal fire
And still burning up till today
A really expansive pyre.
