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 especially like the top shot. Those trees in a row make for such a beautiful scenery.
ReplyDeleteA nice row of poplars is always a pleasant sight.
DeleteHave a row of trees. Poplars?
ReplyDeleteYes poplars. They would be quite a picture in Autumn.
DeleteI like the scenery around Tumut. So very green.
ReplyDeleteYes it is lovely. I think we will go back again as the caravan park is nice there. We were there on Christmas Eve some years ago.
DeleteRolling, rolling rolling along.
ReplyDeleteRolling hills. Yes that is what I like. The more rolls the better.
