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)

I knew I was missing a post today and couldn't think of what it was. LOL! I've got to go do mine. :-)

This is a great shot. I still can't get over that these birds are wild where you are. How wonderful that must be.

Beautiful birds to have flying around outside. We would get the Crow but not the Cockatoo's.
