MY NEW MEME
Weekend Mailbox #4 is HERE!
I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman
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)

I would so love to visit that area! City or country, your photos always entice me! And your haiku is great, too!
Great Melbourne scene.
Sydney - City and Suburbs
Love Melbourne but t the moment we are appreciating Sydney's beauty.
Next time, I will visit Melbourne. It's not too expensive with Jet star and PACIFIC Blue
It's been ages since I've been to Melbourne. It still looks great.
