Wheat


We are back in the wheat country again. I didn't realise there was so much of it around Adelaide.

    There is nothing like a train journey, I have so many great memories, sadly the XPT up our way is no match for the glory days of the Brisbane Limited Express, the Daylight Express or Gold Coast Motorail.. even the North Coast Mail was great fun!
    There are few great trains left in OZ but this surely is one of them.

      Hey you have done more trains than me. The only one I would have caught of those is Brisbane-Sydney one back in the 1970s ... don't know what it's name was.

    I remember the daylight express. The wheat shot is great. Gives the feeling of a great expanse.

Reading

The tiny camera's tiny battery ran out so I went back to my reading. The note with the sculpture says "This bronze and copper sculpture contrasts a series of small human forms with the architectural weight of on oversize staircase. The artwork has a philosophical aspect by reflecting on the effect of reading on the spirit - 'the more I read the smaller I feel'." Crikey, I dunno about you but if reading made me feel like that I'd stop.

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.

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.
