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)

They look so peaceful when they're resting, don't they? Unlike when they're screaming about in the air!

Always graceful, though! Nice shot.

Nice closeup of the gull. I've never looked closely at the beaks of the ones here and I'm thinking I need to check them out. Your gull's beak appears to be thicker than what I imagine ours to have.
