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)

Port Phillip Bay waters coming in to shore at Portsea...


frothy ripples
sliding in to rest after
deep journeys

Own Worlds


Mum and daughter were at Portsea to watch the tall ships sail out of Port Phillip Bay two weeks ago.
But then there was this moment when both seemed to be in other worlds.


the world is there
tempting me
but I am here

Wonder of Rock


Rocky coastline at London Bridge Ocean Beach on the southern end of the Mornington Peninsula


Rugged rocky shape
Boldly weathers moody seas
Like a crouched dragon



It's Australia Day today!

Hole in the Rock


Pic by Gemma wiseman ~ This is a rock offshore from Brighton beach, Melbourne.
There is a distinct round hole in it partway up.
Would water weathering do this?

Energised Whirlygig


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A rescue holicopter hovering over a rock (offshore Sorrento Back Beach on Westernport Bay) created an unusual scenic seascape.
~
Scenic Sunday #90
SOOC Sunday #74

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ More surprising, the helicopter, for just a moment or two, landed on the rock!
~

Spinning metal wings
Freely flying whirlygig
Like a charged real toy
~

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ More surprising still, I was able to hold the camera steady (I was excited about all this!) as the helicopter took flight again and I managed to get a shot before it quickly rose in the air!
