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)

Children Walk with Animals


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ At the weekend, the Annual Dromana Strawberry Festival was held on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia.
Apart from fresh strawberries being available FREE, there were many other items of interest.
One was the photo opportunity area where animals met children.

That would've been me, right in the middle feeding the critters.

I'm still in awe over the cockatoos, to see such coveted beauty just outside my door.

The pink arch amidst the cobwebs is so wonderful...a source of pride for the old couple I'm sure...you live in a wonderful world Gemma, filled with beauty and magic everywhere.

Have a wonderful week friend!
