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)

Feisty black critters
Sculptures model their proud souls
Displayed by a tree

Love the birds. We are starting to see a lot of tree carvings here. Folks are getting real creative to keep from cutting down the trunks of the trees.
