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)

Like the birth of a palette

Wonderful colours Gemma. I have always loved that deep blue.

How is the weather behaving down your way? Here it is cold and misty.

Enjoy your weekend.
