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)

I love the sweetness of these pictures. We're just back from vacation, and as I sift through the thousands of pictures from the experience, you've inspired me to pull out similarly-themed scenes. They really are priceless, aren't they?
