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)

beautiful Gemma, both your photo and poem.

It does look cold, but beautiful and somehow remote, mysterious -- I probably have an over active imagination, but great photos and beautiful words do inspire that sometimes! Have a lovely weekend, Gemma.
