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)

Pale Yellow Beach Flower


It amazes me what flowers grow right on the edge of the beach where grass meets and mixes with sands.
This one I found at Safety Beach on the Mornington Peninsula.

Unknown Autumn Flower


I have no idea what this Autumn flower may be.
All I know is I rather like it, in spite of the little bugs that seem to be busy wandering the petals!
This flower was photographed in a garden at Moorabbin, an inner suburb of Melbourne.


bold autumn flower
reaching for mellow sun's warmth
with arms open wide
