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)

Restless Frontiers


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ At one end of Sorrento Back Beach on Westernport Bay, Mornington Peninsula, the waters can get quite unpredictable and wild.
Often the tide is too high for a walk down here.
But on this day, I dared to venture beyond the sands and found a cave, with restless waters in front of it.

Watery Wednesday #82

Dark and eerie cave
Restless winds and restless seas
Sacred hiding place

Restless is the correct term for image one. Well done.

I'm glad you ventured down and took a photo of the cave. I wonder what might be hiding in there.

you were very brave. When I was in the Surfers Paradise, I was just splashing about when a handsome life guard came and told me nice not to go out too deep. I wished I pretended to drown. LOl

I would dare for an adventure if it was low tide.

But you are brave!
