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
Did it smell good?
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it smelled (smelt?) good.
It smelt crisp and clean ... can't remember any other distinctive aroma.
DeleteLove this. It exudes such a sense of calm. A meandering road in no hurry to anywhere but through the tall trees...
ReplyDeleteYeh it is a no hurry kind of place. Even over a glorious warm Easter long weekend not a bothersome amount of traffic.
Deletemy favourite type of road....
