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)

Hi Gemma,

Are you sure that's the Esplanade Hotel's logo? It is very similar to our national flag! Red white and blue, sky's over you!

Thanks for the visit.

I like that North sign. Reminds me of the movie Message in the Bottle. :)

Nice signage for a hotel.

Thanks for the visit!

Love the 'ku that goes with it, nice touch! Thanks for coming back to play TWTW, and for your enthusiasm. I love this meme too, and could not bear to see it die. I'd love to feature some of your work one week - think about it and let me know if you'd like to submit something.

thanks again -
