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
Is that the airport hangar?
ReplyDeleteI am SUPREMELY JEALOUS of your trip.
It looks absolutely fabulous.
An amazing photo! Such a fabulous experience - how do you get back to 'normal' after that??
ReplyDeleteHappy travels!
Letty, more like a dunny without a house to go with it. I don't know what it is but thinks it makes a cool photo.
ReplyDeleteRed, normal has a way of returning just as soon as one goes back work. I'm enjoying the opportunity to relive at least a little of the trip as the blog unfolds.
So lonely! Great capture.
ReplyDeleteWOW. Love this view. The lone building. The footprints? in the dirt.
ReplyDeleteRenee, would not see footprints this high up in the air, it is clumps of grass.
ReplyDeleteThe photo is great. A dunny, ha! Yes, it is cool.
