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)

Bold Car Museum Entrance


A racing vehicle displayed at the entrance to the Car Museum at Main Ridge/Arthurs Seat, Mornington Peninsula
A trip here last weekend, on a rainy, cold Saturday afternoon inspired me to start one more meme!
WHEELS FRIDAY starts this Friday 2nd July!

The car (an Aussie Ford we don't see over here) appears to be in motion. Maybe it is the since or perhaps the bold colors just look fast.

This museum looks great, an old Cadillac on the roof seems just right for a collection of cool cars...

That one cool car!

Good idea with a "Wheels Friday".
I'll have to tell my husband about that. He's got a big room in his and and mind for wheels.
I'm not that engaged, even though I like to watch a formula 1 race or a classic car exhibition.

I'd probably follow my Gunnar to this museum, .. if we happened to be in Australia.

Wish you a nice day!

Roan said...

Like the race car. Hubby and I follow NASCAR here. May have to try your Wheels Friday. Sound like fun. ;)

I bet it would be fun to visit that auto museum!

That's pretty commercial racing car. Makes it colourful.

(Okay, let's make a deal - I'll join the fun of the Wheels Friday. I'll post it early, but do me a favour of linking me to Mr Linky, because I won't be home starting tomorrow. I'll return comments when I come back. Promise. I have too many pictures about everything. So this meme thingy helps keep me going by disposing them on the internet. I don't even care if someone will copy my pictures. They can take all if they want. They did that to my poem and they make money out of it. Sigh)
