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
We've been meeting quite a few dogs in London, despite the high density living. But here dogs are allowed to go practically everywhere - on public transport, in restaurants, even in the pub.
ReplyDeleteThey are much more pet friendly like that in Melbourne too.
DeleteMans best friend, we would be lost with out our two.
ReplyDeleteI have never had a dog. Used to have cats as a kid but they both give me hayfever these days so it is look don't touch.
DeleteWhat a friendly face!
ReplyDeleteIt was a quiet friendly dog. Others bark their head off and then their owners bark at them.
DeleteWas the dog wanting to chase the cat who was wanting the chase the canary!
