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
I think they may have ... I'm sure e-email would be a lot quicker out at Wattle Flat.
ReplyDeleteVery nice series, and some great letterboxes, too, Joan.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful photograph. The muted colors and textures are very striking.
ReplyDeleteYes, the spider web is a bit of a clue, I'd reckon. Although email at WF would be what I got 'throttled' to during this week past, and I would not wish that upon anyone.
ReplyDeleteI think you are correct, not much action out there..
ReplyDeleteA very relaxing way of communication, ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe day before yesterday I showed your blog to the guy I was talking about who came back from a vacation in Australia on Wednesday. He literally shouted: WOW, that's exactly how it looks like over there!!! Great!
That is my kind of letter box.
