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
Such a beautiful pristine area of the world ..... great birds-eye view.
ReplyDeleteI was stunned by the beauty of it.
DeleteIt does too. Where is it, I'm lost.
ReplyDeleteWe are still on the flight out from Airlie Beach. Whitsundays, north of Mackay.
DeleteIt was the last shot of the flight not the trip ... we've got thousands of miles to go.
DeleteNo, it can't be real ... must be a movie set?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteIt's certainly the kind of place movie stars visit.
DeleteAwesome!
