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)

Ruby Rowing


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Standing up to paddle a boat at Blairgowrie on Port Phillip Bay, Mornington Peninsula.
The water is very shallow in this area, so perhaps it is easier to stand and paddle?
And it's amazing how this sliver of red seems to glow in a world of blue!

There is nothing choppy about the sea today, so a glass smooth glide over the surface is not so exciting, but under a nice warm sky he probably doesn't care much...

The weather still looks wonderful there even though it's autumn. I guess "autumn" to you doesn't mean the same as it goes to me. LOL
