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)

Winter Beach

Weekend Snapshot prompt #45

Give me a chair
On the beach
By a winter sea
Under a winter sun
And I will tell you about
Happiness and
A warm soul
