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)

Art of Flag Flying


Collage by Gemma Wiseman ~ I decided to celebrate the first Blue Monday of Spring with flags from my world.
All these photos are from 2009 Australia Day in January.
The Dromana flag in the middle celebrates my own little seaside township.
The blue and yellow flag is our Visitor's Information Centre flag.
And of course, there are a few Australian flags here.

Enjoyed all the blues from the Australia Day. I would love to have been there for that day. I visited your country one time, and fell in love with it.

love your blues. I'd love to go back there someday. I always thought it would be so romantic to marry someone from there and live happily ever after. Oh well, I married a Welshman instead.
