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)

what a nice little bird, the kookaburra. I have never seen one but I recall the name in maybe a song or poem. It's very vague.

Nice advise in your little poem today. Made me smile.
