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
I wonder if he/she can win a stare-off against Julia Bishop?
ReplyDeleteOh very cool.
ReplyDeleteDon't think I'd like him following me to the toilet, though.
@winam - he's much more attractive than Julie B (she creeps me out).
JE - thought you might find this interesting.
Strange goings on in Junee.

Do they bite?
Emus can be quite aggressive in grabbing food from your hand or when picnicking snatching food when you are not watching. I've had no experience of them biting for other reasons.
