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
Another beautiful pub. Never been to Braidwood so looking forward to your photos.
ReplyDeleteGood find.
ReplyDeleteI like that one. so much more atmosphere than modern glass and chrome.
ReplyDeleteI like the roofline here. Not sure about the colours for an old pub like this. Think they under-cooked with the signage.
ReplyDeleteumm ... go on ... add it to your Royals ...
ReplyDeletei like the colours and look, no advertising. Every time I want to take an old pub it is usually adorned with plastic adds flapping from the balconies.
