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)

Apostle of Queenscliff


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Through an outside window, this photo was taken of a stained glass window in Apostle.
The Gothic building was a church, (built in 1888), but is now used as a boutique restaurant at Queenscliff on the Bellarine Peninsula.
Bellarine is the peninsula directly across Port Phillip Bay from the Mornington Peninsula.

Luminous stained glass
Like a sacred mosaic
Whirl of petalled stars

Hi Gemma and thanks for the visit. Not my first time here but blooger finally let me in( we're having problems with it...again ). Very fine window here and wonderful re-use of the old church. So many round my area have been taken down.
