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)

Legendary eyes

Oh yes! I love that roof! I probably wouldn't like to live under it, but the lines are beautiful.

You have described the spirit of this old home perfectly. The furrowed brow, legendary eyes, so beautiful and lovely music as I pass by wondering.
