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)

Gemma...I had to poke my husband to show him your shots of the Kookaburras. While we were looking at them the old tune came back to me after all of these years. I cannot remember all of the words, but I sure can remember the tune. These are great shots and thanks for keep the old memory alive in me.
