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)

Gemma, this is a pretty beach for sure. I can see why you like it there. Too bad summer is about over for you.
Our Galveston, Texas, beach is warming up now (water in the 60's) in our first days of Spring. You guys can come.
