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)

The story is the journey...

Take a little time
Enjoy the nooks and byways
Surprise treasures wait

Mapped co-ordinates
Planned knowledge is a closed door
Imprisoned stalemate

Unknown trails allure
The story is the journey
A sense of wonder

My family went riding around Friday night on roads we hadn't traveled before and it was so much fun. I didn't get pictures because my battery went dead on my camera. We'd taken pics of the Hot Air Balloon festival prior to our ride.

I am jealous because the pictures I take through the windshield are not good.

There's so much around us on any journey, if we take the time to look.
Excellent words and pics.

Beautiful! Wonderful pictures to compliment your words. So much to take in on our journey, much of which we take for granted.
