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)

Childhood Memories


This set of little angels used to live on the top of my aunt's bookshelf.
Whenever I visited her home on weekends, as a child, I used to love seeing them there.
They were especially magical at night because she would light a candle near them!
I used to love their shadow shapes cast on the wall.
Not long before my aunt died, she gave them to me.
I still treasure her angels.
