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)

Every time you mention Autumn, I get the oddest sense of disjunction. I bit like watching a film full of rain or snow and walking out of the cinema into sunshine.
Have a good week.
