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
I know I don't have to pick a favourite ... but the palm leaf is FAAAABULOUS!!!
ReplyDeleteIt am always delighted at what light paints. So much more creative than me.
DeleteJust been catching up on all your posts back to Frazer Island. You have visited some great places on this tour. The top shot of the beach road and walkers is fabulous. It is a great time for photos. The light is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI spotted then and thought immediately that it would make an aha photo.
DeleteI would enjoy walking that road.
ReplyDeleteI did. But the funny thing is that but for me choosing it as a Road the Beckons I probably would not have walked it and found its delights.
DeleteThe last shot is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThat's my favourite too.
