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)

cramped by progress...


blue spring skies over St Mark's church in Dromana...
on the right is a glimpse of the new The Nepean resort...


cramped by progress
but the small church still reaches
for the skies

Church Wall in Black and White


Side wall of St Mark's Anglican Church, Dromana
Construction of the Neo-gothic-style St Mark's Anglican Church was commenced in 1892 and the first service was held in the church in April 1893. The church was constructed using rusticated limestone with red brick quoins and features rendered parapets at the gable end. 
St Mark's is the Mornington Peninsula's third oldest Anglican stone church and is only pre-dated by St John's in Sorrento (1874) and St Andrew's in Rye (1882).

Textures and shadows
Rigid lines and curving shapes
Sacred monochrome

Mainly Music


Sign (permanent) on the fenceline of St Mark's Anglican Church, Dromana

Just two simple words
But each laden with questions
Saintly temptation

Stunning church window
Night shades of reaching branches
Sacred eeriness

Precious soul windows
Harvest in a lonely field
Lingering bounty
