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)

Auto Heaven

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Auto Museum at Arthurs Seat, Mornington Peninsula
~
(For this Round 3 of ABC Wednesday pics, I am going to focus on scenes around my beloved Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia)

Here is a pic of Arthurs Seat, viewed from Safety Beach on Port Phillip Bay below. Just behind the towers you see on the mountain is a road that winds through farmland and wineries. And it is on this road you will find the Auto Museum.
ABC Wednesday prompt ~ The letter "A"

Old paint
Old bodies
Old engines
Old wheels
Old pumps
Gather together
In one place for
An auto
Mass
Requiem
~
Eternal memorial service for
Ancient auto addicts

Hello Gemma! What an interesting choice for letter "A"! I've never seen such an auto museum! And I like the poem too! It's nice and funny! Have a great day!

You can click my name to see my "A" post!

Ciao!

Interesting to see that old Cadillac Down Under. The big fins are tacky and garish. Yet, I love old Caddys!
