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
The rocks look like a giant snake head and that sticky bit of branch looks like his tongue.
ReplyDeleteLol - that is always so funny. I see this photo and think: ooh, that rock looks like an alligator ... I go to the comments and there is always someone who had already said the things I wanted to say.
ReplyDeleteThat's the price I pay for being always late with my comments ... too much on my plate during the week, :-(.
This seems to be an especially feathery kind of grass
ReplyDeleteA giant snake, an alligator ... I didn't see it at the time but do now.
ReplyDeleteAB, I think you'll find the next shot is even more like feathers.
