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

Yeah ... me so to. I suspect it would be very cool during summer ...
ReplyDeleteI like the stone combination. It looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteThe town is full of coittages like this ... it really has a lovely character. Cool would be good Julie. There is a photo in this blog taken a year or two ago when it was 42 degrees. This summer was mild so a bit deceiving.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful house!
