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
Oooh... I like this B&W. Lots of lines and curves, not to mention people interest.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It was still quite early so the city was not quite buzzing at that time.
DeleteI think cafes in the city must make the most money by far since a cup of coffee is about $3 these days.
ReplyDeleteI don't drink coffee so don't notice the price. But I am sure they make a big turnover in the mornings.
DeleteOh yes, must have that morning coffee. I see the lady at the end of the queue has her hand to her head ... the start of a "haven't-had-my-coffee" headache perhaps?
ReplyDeleteWell spotted
DeleteI feel sorry for those who need a caffeine fix to start the day. I need a walk in the forest.
ReplyDeleteI am one of those people that wakes up awake ... unless i have worked way too late into the night. So I don't understand the need for caffeine or sitting about waiting for the world to unfold in the morning.
DeleteMMM I do not recognise this cafe. Location, please.
ReplyDeleteLet me see ... we walked down Phillip Street towards the harbour then turned left. I remember it had maps showing the way the harbour looked over time embedded in that seat looking thing in the foreground ... that will surely place it for you.
