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)

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Unusual collection of structures on the headland near Queenscliff on the Bellarine Peninsula.
This is also near the entrance to Port Phillip Bay from Bass Strait.

I like lighthouses. There's such history there begging to be explored. Beautiful pics. Have a great weekend.

Unusual, yes, but beautiful, too! I like that stairway ascending the side of the tower & I like the lighthouse too - not to mention the rock cliffs! Very nice photo

Happy Scenic Sunday!

Interesting trilogy of towers! It looks like a great day for a walk along the waterfront.

That's a nice thought about lighthouses - a nightlight for travellers and beauty by day. Lovely. Looks like this was a great day to be out walking by the water's edge.
