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
Bloody grumpy driver ... the colour is eye-catching .. but like the stuff you showed us in SA ... smaller blocks/chunks though.
ReplyDeleteYeh the colour reminded me of SA stone buildings too. NSW is usually sandstone.
ReplyDeleteoh I hate it when the driver revolts!
ReplyDeleteLove the lean on the fence.
Hah! I did not notice the lean on the fence. It is very wonky ...
ReplyDeleteYep. Wonky like our front gate is at the moment.
