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)

Panelled Reflections


A window of a shop in the Tyabb Art and Craft Village on the Mornington Peninsula.
The reflection is strong in the top half of glass panels but not in the bottom ones!
The top half just captures the huge bear on the roof of another craft shop!

Quite odd reflection
Like pictures within pictures
Like a brain teaser

Weekend Nature #8 ~ End of a World


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ This is an unusual sight.
Imagine standing right near the end of Mornington Peninsula.
Here, this very narrow strip of land is called Point Nepean.
Face back along the Peninsula.
On your left are the calmish waters of Port Phillip Bay - leading to Melbourne.
On your right are the unpredicatable waters of Bass Strait - leading to the island of Tasmania.
And with all that weathering of crashing water, slowly the sandy peninsula is crumbling.

Fragile coastal worlds
Nature's walls will tumble down
See how it used to be

Tiny Corner from Yesterday


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ About a year or so ago, I presented this little church at Red Hill, Mornington Peninsula.
But in the Autumn light of yesterday's wander, I loved this different perspective.
Red Hill used to be just a village surrounded by orchard country.
Now it is a village surrounded by equestrian properties, multi-purpose farmland, vineyards and boutique tourist accomodation.
