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)

Nice Gemma!
While viisiting your fair country years ago..I was ever amazed by seeing flocks of these white lovlies soar and land and graze in fields as we traveled along!

I love your name!
My very best friend's name is Gemma. I go to board with her at the end of the week...she is actually rescuing me from some unfortunate events.

I will return to enjoy your space here,
KacyK
