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)

there's more to a brick...


Little house at Moorabbin, an inner suburb of Melbourne.
The street side brick fence line is an unusual style.
But more unusual is how the fence continues down the driveway and becomes a garden border.
The neighbour's wrought iron fence makes a wonderful contrast.

A very sweet little house. We don't get many wooden ones in Adelaide - mostly stone cottages. I like the homeliness of wood.

It unwittingly creates a balance with the neighbor's. Quaint local fare! Nicely Gemma!
