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)

like white brushes...


Amazing what flowers can grow along a coastal walkway.
I believe this is a white grevillea coming into bloom near Dromana beach.


like white brushes
combing the warmth of Spring
with soft beauty

Oh, so white and airy. Love the little nodules on the ends and the touch of pink in the background. Lovely. genie

The flowers at this time of year can be wonderful - we often go to the Grampians about now, but not this year.
