Mudgee Spring


As this was a late winter drive spring was just beginning to unfold.  The streets of Mudgee were lined with trees in blossom.

    Mudgee is such a lovely town. Love the wine and historic buildings. Enjoy your break.

    The blossom has been wonderful everywhere I've been this year - with any luck that means a glut of fruit!!!

    Good to see the town in spring. When I was there the trees were shedding leaves.

    Much of NE Victoria was lined with blossom like this. Very attractive. We DO have seasons in Australia!

    The further south you go the seasons become more obvious. But having just finished a bush walk today I have to say spring is also very obvious in the native forest as well.

    Red it would be good to have lots of fruit. I hear bananas are getting cheaper again and there are heaps of mangos coming down from the NT soon.

Coolibah?

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.

The end

I retire from the workforce this week and to celebrate have decided to retire my current blogs and start afresh with a single consolidated blog -  My Bright Field  - to record the delights of my new life adventure. If you are interested follow me over there.  I will still be Sweet Wayfaring and collecting Royal Hotels.  The delights I discover along the way will appear together with my gardens and towns where I live.

But then the grey clouds gather

Mostly there was sunshine but sometimes rain. The long drought is still too close a memory for us to not welcome rain even on holiday. We are still at Shellharbour here, you can see the steelworks at Port Kembla in the distance. Musing: From The Storm by Theodore Roethke "Along the sea-wall, a steady sloshing of the swell, The waves not yet high, but even, Coming closer and closer upon each other; A fine fume of rain driving in from the sea, Riddling the sand, like a wide spray of buckshot, The wind from the sea and the wind from the mountain contending, Flicking the foam from the whitecaps straight upward into the darkness."
