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

ReplyDeleteSigh.
It felt like a summer holiday. I really did feel the holiday began once we reached Airlie Beach ... though of course I was not on holiday ... I was just moving my relocatable office to new and interesting places.
DeleteAh, that tropical warmth! Love it. Beautiful shot!
ReplyDeleteNice warm evening feeling from this shot.
