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)

Twelve Cockatoos

Hi,

thank you for telling me about that you can not see my photos from time to time - I do not know why.

It can be the web breowswe I/you use or the webb hotel I am using.

Hope it will be better 2010.
Thank you for stopping by my blog,

Maria Berg, Sweden

I always love to see "your" cockatoos! A bit early for the "Can You Spot All 12 Cockatoos?" game, though... need more coffee! :-)

Wow you have 12 Cockatoos? That's amazing. Beautiful birds. Do any of them talk? Nice take on the theme.

We bet the Cockatiels are "noisy entertainment". Terrific blog, our first visit. Come visit us if you have a chance, our PhotoHunt post is up too.
