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)

Beautiful photos! Australia is one I the places I would love to visit in my lifetime!
australia is certainly is a big island
in new zealand we sometimes refererd to it as the west island (you know what i mean: north island, south island...)
awesome place to enjoy during summer! very clear and beautiful, nice capture...
A bouquet of islands! It all reminds of the year we spent in Melbourne 1966-1967.
Morning Gemma - Sitting here working before school, and have used this post again on Pyewacket's Party. :)
Love this one. :)
Beautiful curving inlets on an expansive shoreline.
I hadn't thought of islands in the road, but the proof is there!
I live in an area that they call 'the island', which is by no means an island, but back in history before the levees were built, the great Mississippi River yearly over-flowed her banks, creating islands everywhere, so our ground is sand. Fertile land for producing crops. We are famous for our Muscatine watermelons and cantelope.
But the mighty Mississippi has a beauty all her own, even when flooded and winds whip up white-caps, very ocean like. But it is the natural way of things...we have just altered her course.
Beautiful shots, per usual my fave is the rolling sea.

Hi Gemma, very interesting post, and I do love your pictures on your blog. Always a fun visit here. Thanks for stopping by mine and leaving such a nice comment.
What terrific photos! Australia is also on my list of places I'd like to visit, although it's doubtful that I will ever actually get there! Thanks for the sweet comments on my blog!
Hi Gemma,
I liked your post. It was very interesting. Beautiful pictures. I hope you have a lovely day.
I live on a small island too, but nothing like this!!!

Australia is the largest island in the world! You are absolutely right! It's as large as Europe and has a little bit more inhabitants than The Netherlands, which is half the size of Tasmania. We have 17 million inhabitants. It's a most interesting island with a most interesting population. Thanks for your guided tour along islands.
All nice photos for "I" and here I thought "Internet" and my "Insect" were original and cleverly thought up. I am impressed.
I didn't realize how far behind in commenting I was, I need to keep up :) One of these days I will make it to Australia, I really can't wait to see it in person.
I've always wanted to visit Australia. Thanks for sharing your island pictures. I invite you to come by and taste some of my homemade ice cream. - Margy
I guess we will never get to Australia, but your blog brings Australia to us! Thanks so much.

Very, very pretty!
