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)

My World by the Bay


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Queenscliff to Sorrento ferry docking at Sorrento pier, Mornington Peninsula.
Just behind the ferry in this photo, the Port Phillip Bay waters lead out through The Rip into Bass Strait and then Tasmania.

Surprised to read it's a ferry - looks large enough to be a cruise ship!

Great shot!.It does seems to dwarf the jetty with its size. (:-)

After seeing the full size image, I have to agree with Tink. That baby's huge! Nice shot!

Love how the tree branch is in the foreground and contrasts with the rest of the photo! Great!

This is a nice picture. I never knew ferries were this big. That's what I love about these memes. You get to meet people and see thing you otherwise would never have seen. Thanks!

That would be the best spot to read a book and be peacefully imagining too!
