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)

Summer days in January at Dromana beach

Yesterday's escape
Archived sunny sands and seas
Just pictures remain

This took me a moment, then I remembered that you are "down under." Summer has yet to come for us in the US, though winter put on a poor showing this year.

I love this line: "Archived sunny sands and seas"
