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
That's a really cute church/house. There are certainly lots of interesting structures around.
ReplyDeleteYes heaps. That is the charm of the place, if you aren't really interested in digging or noodling for Opals.
DeleteAnd even they did not have to take their rubbish away! I guess they are out the back-o-bourke! Literally ...
ReplyDeleteNot quite out the back-o-bourke, not that far west.
DeleteI do agree that is quite a cute church,,, probably not very practical in the heat... but cute nonetheless.
ReplyDeleteWell it is not actually a church, it is a movie set. I looked in the window and it has junk in it, like any blokes shed.
DeleteHa! Love it.
