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

Someone should start again. It looks a nice spot.
ReplyDeleteThere are artworks reminiscent of this at the bottom of one of the escalators at the AG-NSW.
ReplyDeleteJulie, yes it did remind me of artwork or an aboriginal site.
ReplyDeleteLetty, that stick shed is amazing. I would love to photograph it.
