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
No, would never get tired of looking at that beautiful scenery. I love the layers in this photo :D)
ReplyDeleteI wish I had got a better shot of the mountains. They have the most interesting pagoda rock formations but I was photographing from a moving car so not so easy to get a good photo.
DeleteIt's gorgeous. It's not often we see it that green.
ReplyDeleteIt can be green like this in the Spring too. It's just that we have had a prolonged dry spell so the contrast is greater.
DeleteLove this photo.
ReplyDeleteI always love the ones you take that make me feel like I could walk into them.
What constitutes a photo like that I'm not sure - it's just the vibe of the thing.
