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)

Love this one Gemma. A sad truth for many people. "Tangled pain" is fantastic merge of the mental woes that caused the binge drinking and the hangover to come.

Great work!

Love it! You know, it took me a moment to get the scale size of what I was looking at. That tiny horse really threw my eyes off. :-) Can you believe I thought the glass of ale (?) was a street lamp. LOL!

I like it for how simple a truth it is, and for how it progresses.
