Here is one more abandoned shot from my last trip. I have run out of material again and don't know when I will next go wayfaring. In the meanwhile I will be tripping down a Road that Beckons over a Blue Mountains Journal.
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.
Too fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI love those marks on corrugated iron.
What's that one say "ORB? Australia"?
And those rocks on the roof - you know, of all the decrepit buildings I've seen, I've never seen rocks on the roof keeping the iron down.
I've see rocks on the roof quite a few times.
DeleteYes it is saying ORB Australia. There are some other words below that but I can't make it out.
I like the fading red of this stencil.
A renovators dream
ReplyDeleteThis one looks like it might be beyond that but I must admit to being amazed at what can be renovated.
DeleteIt might be a renovator's dream but it looks wonderful in a photo just the way it is.
ReplyDeleteLove the rocks on the roof. Did you get my email and TI's Royal?
