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)

They're most definitely warriors, aren't they? :-)

Fire trucks embody a true ruby, and not just for their color. For the lifesaving duty the fire fighters are prepared to do at all hours!

I just realized it is autumn in Australia. Is the fire truck's steering wheel on the right side?

Love all your monday and tuesday meme photos especially the Ruby Warriors. They had a hard job this year in Victoria.

Great choice for Ruby Tuesday. We all sleep better at night for having firefighters out there watching over us.
