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
This could be a photo of coming up the range to Toowoomba or coming through Carroll's Cutting up to Ararat.
ReplyDeleteI suppose all three spots are on the Great Dividing Range.
I would suspect you'd get a dusting or two of snow on that mountain in the winter.
ReplyDeleteArarat must be close to the flick of the tail of the GDR, though. Nice looking countryside, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI like how the sign says "No Sign" and "Snow Sign" :)
ReplyDeleteSnow or not, I would keep myself warm. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'D SAY IT WOULD BE CRISP IN WINTER BUT VERY SCENIC.
