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)

New Bumblebee and Friends


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Some new and old versions of Melbourne transport icons.
(Enlarge to appreciate the detail!)
There is the yellow taxi, the old tram style with the pale yellow roof (on the left of the photo) and the new bright and breezy yellow 'Bumblebee' tram which runs from St Kilda on Port Phillip Bay to Brunswick.
It is called Route 96.
(By coincidence, an old Australian soapie was called 'Number 96'!)

Fun bumblebee ride
Fanciful glide round Melbourne
It's a buzzing world

No need to fear stings
from this Melbourne Bumblebee.
Through the streets it wings
its way, filled with commuters
going to work—and to play.

Wow it looks like in Australia the color of the public transportation is yellow. I saw today in another blog a yellow water taxi and that is also awesome. ^_^
