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
Different perspective of the station. Ours are called "Go Cards".
ReplyDeleteGo Cards are such a practical no nonsense name. Opal has creative energy. It had me wondering it was an acronym but is seems not.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great photo from above, Joan. I was there yesterday with my camera but didn't think about taking a shot!
