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

Hee hee good post. Good shots. That's why my daughter is a vegetarian.
ReplyDeleteFortunately I don't see cute little chicks running about half an hour before I tuck into a Red Rooster classic roast.
ReplyDeleteOh wow!
ReplyDeleteI've never, ever seen baby emus.
I get so excited when I see an adult, I'd be beside myself at this sight.
Have never seen emu chicks either - nothing like their parents!
