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 love these sandy paths near beaches. It makes a good shot too, leading your eye into the photo. Where did it lead to I wonder?
ReplyDeleteI find the soft sand rather hard to walk on.
DeleteI love the mystery of an unwalked trail. Good shot.
ReplyDeleteI do too provided I am not feeling tired and have a good sense that I am not lost!
