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)

birds love a rock...


little cormorant and terns love this rock just offshore from Schnapper Point...

a water bound rock
begs to be loved as
a special island


and one loves his own rock...

Offshore Gathering


At low tide, the birds enjoy gathering on the sandbanks offshore from Rosebud beach on the Mornington Peninsula.


Just a stretch of sand
Like a bird's mini island
Treasure of low tide

Wetlands Traffic


Life can be busy in the wetlands at Coolart, Somers


Life can be hectic
Our life's a communal nest
Sharing the moments

Just Doing Their Thing!


At times, when the tide is out, the waters at Rosebud beach are very shallow.
And that is when you see some strange sights.
People seem to walk on water (sandbars) near boats.
Birds don't mind keeping their eye on activities.

At low tide
Wander far out in the bay
No swimming needed
