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
These photos get better and better with every post. They're the same mountains, but the terrain is completely different here - or is it just the light?
ReplyDeleteI agree with the first comment. The texture in the last one is stunning.
ReplyDeleteWinam, if my memory serves me correctly the first shot is taken across the top of the lookout where cars park the second 'down the sides' so the more natural vegetation.
ReplyDeletelove the rolling bumps of near and far. like fuzzy caterpillars moving along. great colors, soft and hazy.
