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)

Hi Gemma,
When I was in Australia I enjoyed watching the surfers, they bring me good memories.
Have a nice day.

that looks so fun, always wanted to try it but never dared. I am a lousy swimmer. :(

Cool photo of the surfer boy. I would think the wetsuit helps to keep them warm.

I love the water, love to swim, but I'm afraid I'd break my neck and just about everything else if I tried to surf! Well, they are pleasant to loot at, anyways ;)

It looks lovely out there, one would almost think the sun was shining even though it is Autumn there. Very nice shot.

This looks so exciting! I'd love to be able to do that - but I'd probably drown first. LOL

Bud and I spent the morning at the beaches here near us, and we too watched the surfers!!

Meet the Wednesday's Newest King and Queen if you have time...you'll probably laugh a little.
