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)

Fragile Beach Flowers


Fragile flowers determined to live right in the foreshore sands of Rye Beach, Mornington Peninsula

Palest kiss of pink
Touches of tiny blossoms
Seaside enigma
