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
There's just something about rusty sheds. Never know what's inside either!
ReplyDeleteThat's true! sheds are different in winter - love the gentle touch of rust on this shed - very neat and tidy!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't noticed that they look different in different seasons nor did I notice that they have elegant lines but hey I do love tumble down old sheds and they are fun to photograph. Looking forward to your collection.
ReplyDeleteI would love to nick that bench if noone was looking.
