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)

Whispers of summer
Blue skies over bright blue seas
Farewell wintry blues

Oh, so lovely! I have to admit I'm a bit envious of your clear skies and warm weather, but know you will enjoy it for us on the cold side of world! Have a lovely weekend, Gemma!

What a beautiful beach and view. Lovely sky shot. It would be cool to be able to go to the beach in warm weather on Christmas day.
