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
A cute surfing shop!
ReplyDeleteAnd no surf in sight. Its a few blocks away.
DeleteI agree, striking colour scheme - good sign and that lovely old tree :D)
ReplyDeleteIt gets attention. I would never paint anything colours like that myself ... too conservative I guess.
DeleteGood shot with lots of points of interest: bold colour, graffiti, rusty corrugated iron, and warped tree, to name a few.
