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)

How cool is that, reminds me of my old life (married) when my feathered family awoke me at dawn and waited patiently on my deck for their breakfast...downside...that warm slippery surprise under foot...LOL...

Love the music, I love Phil Thorton too.

Have a wonderful day friend...

I wonder if they have a leader in this parade. It might be difficult to determine who, though my money is on the goose.

It certainly is an odd sight to see, but I think they're also very cute! Your post made me smile.

My odd shot is a Spiky skyline.
