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
Oh that's adorable.
ReplyDeleteLook at that cutie on the left!
I could live in that (with a big extension out the back).
Yeah, I like em all too. You'd need a front as big as Myers to try to sell the ripper on the right.
ReplyDeleteLet me guess: Cassilis is not weathering the storm very well.
Its a shame they can't be renovated and made homely again by people who need a home but I guess they need a job too.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beaut collection of houses, especially the tiny one on the left.
ReplyDeleteAh, yes, and I love the building on the far left. Filled with so much character :)
ReplyDeleteVery cute, but a bit sad about the state they're in. They deserve more love and care.
