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)

Ah, so you do have overcast skies sometimes, Gemma! I had the impression that Melbourne and Mornington Peninsula skies were always sunny! I like this moody sky, though. :)
