Is that a Coolibah tree beside the abandoned house? Every Australian knows about Coolibah trees because the bush ballad Waltzing Matilda is nigh on our unoffical national anthem but most of us live nowhere near the inland where they grow. Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong, Under the shade of a Coolibah tree, And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled, You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me. Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda, You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me, And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.
"To muse, to creep, to halt at will, to gaze ... such sweet wayfaring"
William Wordsworth
Is that a timber boardwalk stretching out under that astounding sky? Both you and Peter are playing SNAP today!
ReplyDeleteLove the "outback" at either sunrise or sunset.

ReplyDeleteOh wow... You really got a great show!
ReplyDeleteI love the red dirt (or pink dirt in this picture, I suppose). Can't get enough of it. I could stare at it for hours.
ReplyDeleteJulie, yes a boardwalk leading out to the dune.
ReplyDeleteKristin, I put the image on my desktop today so I have been staring at it for hours. As the sunset progressed the dune got pinker and pinker.
Beautiful. Magnificent Mungo!
ReplyDeleteBoth this and the previous post photos are absolutely beautiful! I especially like the top shot: fantastic perspective and light!
ReplyDeleteI feel like jumping up and down for joy. Incredible, so incredible.
