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)

Another Autumn Flower


Another beautiful Autumn flower that I found in my wanders round Shoreham on the southern end of the Mornington Peninsula.
Not sure what this may be, but loved the soft colour.


pale but enchanting
autumn flowers are so special
so unexpected

Shoreham Critter

Camera Critters prompt #18

Shoreham is a pretty little village on the coast of Westernport Bay, Mornington Peninsula. Here you will find olde worldes ~ a rambling General Store and homes from yesteryear with just the soft intrusion of more modern, unpretentious homes. Most roads from the main Shoreham Road are just like tracks to beautiful vistas of the sea, looking out to Phillip Island. And along those tracks are fascinating farmlets on rolling hills and some rather cute, friendly critters like this one.

Give me a home by the sea
Where trees, grasses and flowers
Roam to the skyline
Where animals play in peace
~
And I will live in happiness
Freely
