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 can never believe the shape of those freighters. Liners look all wrong to my ancient eye as well.

Gemma - the black cockatoos - I have lived here for 25 years and never seen one before the bushfires earlier this year brought them in, from down south.
This is the second time this year I have seen them now. Six feet from me, outside my front door. :)

You live quite near the beach, don't you?! It must be lovely to be able to go for a swim every day! Thanks for your visit! My daughter knows more about snakes than I. She knows that this one would never attack adults. Even so... I am absolutely not fond of them.
