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 regard these as forms of statues. We have statues all over the city. Not those abpominations everywhere to promote Taronga Zoo, but good solid, stones statues. You know, before the world went plastic!
ReplyDeleteOh yes the Rhinos ... I didn't realise until i read Peter's blog that there are hundreds of them. One does make it in the next sequence along with some of your good solid statues.
ReplyDeleteInteresting sculptures. How do you know who they are?
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Hard to get a sense of scale. What size are the sculptures?
