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)

Old Mornington


The Mornington sign marks where the old Mornington station used to be and in the background is the familiar blue building of Peninsula Surf - a sporty clothing shop.
The Baxter to Mornington line opened in 1889 and closed in 1981.
In 1991, the line re-opened as a heritage railway, with two small differences.
The line began at Moorooduc and the new Mornington station was sited at Yuilles Road in Mornington.
(The old station site made way for shopping centre growth behind Main Street, Mornington.)
There is hope that restoration of the line to Baxter will be restored.

Old makes way for new
The useful becomes useless
But re-invented

Layers of South Yarra Blues


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Recently, I was travelling on a train.
This is South Yarra station in Melbourne.
The photo through the train window captured the partial reflection of my blue train and picked up the lights inside the carriage as streaks across the view.
The whole effect created an interesting interpretation of reality.
