It was our third camp in a row beside the sea. This was the view from our van.
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.
Million dollar view. That does make camping look attractive.
ReplyDeleteThere used to be lots of caravan parks with absolute sea front positions but these days they have mostly been given over to cabins and the caravans get a spot at the back. However in this case I understand the foreshore is only leased so the cabins were further back on the private land.
DeleteThat said we found quite a few caravan parks gave us waterfront positions on our SA trip.
Such a calm sea. Brilliant view.
ReplyDeleteNever really noticed the calm sea until you mentioned it. We didn't get a lot of time looking at it because it was raining a lot of the time.
