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)

Strawberry Heaven Reserve


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Last Saturday, this sign appeared on the fenceline of Dromana Recreation Reserve, Mornington Peninsula.
From 8am, the area was pulsing with holidaymakers and residents enjoying the colourful market stalls and, of course, some free strawberries.
For more photos of this event, see the next 3 posts below!

Now that's one inviting sign. I like the little strawberry black and white graphic in the corner of the sign.

Oh, yum is right! I do love strawberries and it is a great sign, too. Thanks for sharing!

Oh, there you are again, posting about those delicious fresh strawberries...free, too. If I sound jealous it might be because I am. ;-)

It'll be really nice if they changed the word admission into strawberries on that sign :P *lol*

Happy Ruby Tuesday!

Ah, a sign that reminds me I am in Melbourne...not far from the beach and enjoying today's heat.

I would really like to join in Ruby Tuesday...but I am having trouble finding the place to link to. Would it be possible for you to send me a link to 'Ruby Tuesday', in an email: Halosofgold@gmail.com. I would be very grateful.

Thanks
Eaton. :)

I love strawberries!!! I'm relieved to see I'm not the only one who thought today's topic was 'signs' ... maybe there was room for confusion after all. Thanks for making me feel better. Mine's at Small Reflections today.
Hugs and blessings,

I'll bet that was fun. I love festivals even though I don't get to many of them.
