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

ReplyDeleteIt does look warm and cosy. It is even cold up here.
ReplyDeleteOoo you have a fire in the shed.
ReplyDeleteHow's Whistler's Rest coming along?
It's coming on great. We have had some extensions as well as the fireplace and put in a proper bed so is quite perfect for camping out now. Pop over to the blog and you will see how it's grown.
