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)

Others definitely love
The candy gloss stripe

There is far more
To the old bathing box
Of yesteryear than

Similarity to
The famous Outback loo

Slowly
Doggedly
Evolving into
A desirable piece of
Sacred
(Some look like mini churches!)
Beachy artwork
