Shed, Apple Tree Flat, near Mudgee |
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.
I was also glad for the break in the clouds over the weekend. Such a relief!
ReplyDeleteOh! wonderful Joan ... I'm thinking a calendar of rust!!
ReplyDeleteI like to see an old rusty shack. Wish I could head off to Mudgee for the weekend, one of my favourite places for obvious reasons.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea Dianne.
