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)

Never heard about a SWIMMING carnival before. There's always a first time..
I have tried to swim with clothes on, heavy affair.
The colors were red and sparkling.

fun in bright colors!

The idea of swimming in such non-swimwear makes me think of sinking instead. The ruby gear for favored teams adds a sense of excitement (and color :) the the splash of excitement below the surface...

“If scarlet be crimson,” he said,
“Then rubicund surely is red.
And then I suppose,
If I named a rose,
Its color would go to my head!”
