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
Another beautiful shot - and an interesting looking church!
ReplyDeleteThis is just stunning. The winking sun is lovely and the lighting really makes that church look pretty grand.
ReplyDeleteOh this is a lovely photo
ReplyDelete(and a pretty fancy looking church).
Where'ish is it?
Havilah, somewhere between Lue and Mudgee. Was built by Mr Henry Hunter White in 1905 and gifted to the Anglican church in 1908.
ReplyDeleteThe right timing and a beautiful building!
ReplyDeleteI can't help myself but I am thinking of Lego ...
ReplyDeleteMartina, that is a perfect description.
