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

ReplyDeleteThey be nandina domestica, me thinks.
ReplyDeleteHow come the greens are not, green that is? I thought we'd had tons of rain.
Lovely shot ... right into the distance.
ReplyDeleteJulie, I'm no expert but my general observation is that winter grass is typically brown regardless of the amount of rainfall. That is true of the paddocks but I think they would normally use a different type of grass on the golf course.
ReplyDeleteThat blue morning light is lovely.
ReplyDeleteLooks inviting for a game but not at that time in the morning.
ReplyDeleteI like the bluish tinge of the mist too.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mary Ann, the blue light is lovely!
