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)

Beach Blues


Close to summer days at Dromana beach


Beach blues are waiting
For summer holiday crowds
A special madness

Pretty soon we'll need an umbrella for sun (when we go to Florida next month). Right now we need them for rain rain rain!
