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)

Here's my secret - I run my car almost out of gas and then tell the husband to fill my tank. This way I can pretend that gas is free. Right?

Thanks for playing.

Unless you cycle,
you’ll need to pay at the pump
for pricey petrol.
