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)

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.

White sanctuary lingers
Small sacred corner

And Dromana by the sea on the Mornington Peninsula on a bright summer's day is a wonderful place to be.
The whole community gathers to celebrate.

Secrets of Queenscliff Pier


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ This is an old old pier at Queenscliff, Bellarine Peninsula on Port Phillip Bay.
It leads to two amazing structures.
From a distance, they look quite plain and smallish.
(NOTE: This is NOT the pier for the Queenscliff-Sorrento ferry!)

That's My World Tuesday XLIV

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ This is the structure at the end of the line of shadows.
Inside looks far bigger than it appeared from the outside.
It seemed to be a giant walk through waiting terminal.
Knowing that this building was not far from The Rip ~ opening from Port Phillip Bay into Bass Strait ~ I wondered if this could have been a major shipping terminal.
I could not look into the other structure on the left.
The way to it was blocked.
~

Mysterious worlds
Secret shells of old lifetimes
Whispering stories
~

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Here is a closer view of the building on the left.
~

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Today, the pier is mainly used for fishing.
