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)

I can't imagine seeing such a beautiful, exotic bird on one of my walks. My friend owns a cockatoo and she destroys everything when out of her huge cage...retaliation for loss of freedom??? They built a garden room for her exotic tropical plants (and birds), just so the bird would be happy...in familiar territory...it worked...and what a retreat for Master. (and who is Master)...
