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)

This smiling man happily posed for his photo in front of new building operations there.
He is handing out Julia Gillard leaflets.

The cavalcade of politics is passing by
A day in the short life of an election
The seasonal fruits of campaign trails

Voting is all about impressions
Like preferred painting styles
But what do we really know about
The artist
