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
Just realised your blog isn't blocked in my new Dept. Look forward to catching up with your wanderings.
ReplyDeleteI've really enjoyed the photos over the past few days. I hope the title of this post doesn't mean the series is over.
ReplyDeleteAnn, it will be lovely to have you visit. Not much wanderings happening at the moment though.
ReplyDeleteMary Ann, yes this series is over but I am bound to do some sort of nature walk again soon ... I'm drawn to it and country towns.
Thanks for taking me along on your walk and I didn't get hot. Looking forward to the next wayfare.(There is no such word according to google)
ReplyDeleteSeeing the rake of those steps, I would think that very quickly I would be using the palm of my hand to give each knee a bit of a leg-up ... or something.
ReplyDeleteLove these steps!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot
