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)

As I admire your beautiful post, my little canary is signing his heart out.
Happy Blue Monday
I see you lived in Tasmania. How was that experience? It sounds like you have had a "some what" interesting life. I will go through your archives if that's ok.
Love Claudie from Canada
