Description
Billabong is an Australian English word meaning a small lake, specifically an oxbow lake, a stagnant pool of water attached to a waterway.[1] Billabongs are usually formed when the path of a creek or river changes, leaving the former branch with a dead end. Despite some claims of a Scottish Gaelic origin,[2] the word is most likely from the Wiradjuri term bilabaŋ.[3][4]
Billabongs appear relatively often in Australian literature. One of the most prominent references is in the opening line of Banjo Paterson's famous folk song "Waltzing Matilda".

Image looks very Australian with the Eucalytus trees in the background and the pool looks great. Ok I won't ask what the Leopard is doing in this enviroment,except to say we don't have Leopards in the wild in Australia. Good job on this anyway. Jan
