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)

Yellow Fantasy on Wheels


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ An unusual vehicle displayed at the entrance to the Car Museum at Main Ridge/Arthurs Seat, Mornington Peninsula
(Thanks to my visitors' comments, I now know that this is called a jeepney!)
A trip here last weekend, on a rainy, cold Saturday afternoon inspired me to start one more meme!

I was right when I see the photo. I am very familiar of this because Philippines is my home country. Thanks for sharing! Happy Monday!
