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
Looks tasty! and it's making me want to go grab a midnight snack :)
ReplyDeleteI can't eat a big breakfast. Makes me sick. This inability to eat much before noon was one of the first signs sent by the universe that I was no longer a kid.
ReplyDeleteI can't eat a big brakfast either but I wouldn't mind having this for luch, it surely looks very yummy! :-)
ReplyDeleteI like the autumn-leaves shot below even more than the bacon and aggs! And that's saying something!
ReplyDeleteLovely shots of a country town. That's another place that I need to visit, if only for the wines.
