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)

A Queenscliff Street Scene


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Here is a street scene of Queenscliff, a very old preserved settlement on the Bellarine Peninsula, Port Phillip Bay.
This peninsula is opposite my Mornington Peninsula on Port Phillip Bay.
The two peninsulas circle the bay like embracing arms.
