AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

You've done a fine job here with your thirty titles. I love Gone With the Wind, Miracle on 34th Street and One Who Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest. I wouldn't mind seeing all of Girl with a Pearl Earring. I've seen some of it and it was good. Thanks for sharing. Have a nice weekend.
