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 can't imagine what kind of ride that would give, but it makes for a great photo!

I like this! It's almost surreal. We had the carnival in town a few weeks back, but I never had the chance to go explore.

That vehicle has so many different patterns on it, it's interesting without being a carnival ride! Add adrenaline, and it's really over the top! Really nice capture!
