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

ReplyDeleteNow look at that fabulous counter ...
What do you mean about the Dunedoo train trip? Ooo ... a teaser ...
Memory lane thanks. White marble table tops?
ReplyDeleteWanderer, no white table tops, and eclectic mix of antique tables.
ReplyDeleteJulie, not so much the train trip as the destination.
Looks like a great spot to wait!! Thanx for visiting my blog!!
ReplyDeleteHappy travels...
That counter IS fabulous.
