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
What a great place. Queensland. Love the last shot.
ReplyDeleteIt was stunning, this flight was the highlight of the trip but a hard pick among so many wonderful things I've seen. Makes me love Queensland again (but only in the winter time).
DeleteI didn't quite make it to Queensland this year apart from a short foray 4km over the border, but your last shot makes me want to pack up and head there immediately!
ReplyDeleteI've just got home and I want to pack up and head there too.
DeleteWhat a great way to see the reef. Gorgeous views once more.
ReplyDeleteThere are more gorgeous views to come on this flight. I'm glad I decided to ignore my budget and do it anyway
DeleteHow absolutely dreamy.
ReplyDeleteThat last shot!!
It's going straight to Tumblr!
Yes it was stunning.
DeleteAll shots are gorgeous but the last one takes my breathe away!
ReplyDeleteI had other shots of this inlet and Whitehaven beach ,,. makes me wish I have posted more of them but I didn't want to wear everyone out with posting too many.
