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
Lovely part of NSW
ReplyDeleteI agree. I like the South Coast.
DeleteLooks like you're near Stanwell Park in that shot. I haven't been down that way for ages and miss it.
ReplyDeleteYes it is about there you begin to see views from the train.
DeleteWhat a gorgeous view!
ReplyDeleteWell of course ... the sea is in your veins.
DeleteA beaut shot
ReplyDeleteThanks. But a problem through a train window and on a dull day so not shown to its true colours.
DeleteAlways love that first glimpse of the sea...
