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
Wow i have just flicked through many of your last posts which I have missed. This is a beautiful area and the views spectacular. The black poles are creative and how similar to my white poles that was a coincidence. I seem to have lost the plot but where are these shots from?
ReplyDeleteProbably a subliminal recollection of your white poles made me title the post that.
ReplyDeleteThe current trip is at Coolah and the sequence photos just finished at Coolah Tops National Park.
Coolah is not far from anywhere, just 100 kms from Mudgee and midway between there and Coonabarabran. It is on good road but not on any of the main highways so the kind of place you miss unless trying different routes.
