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)

Entertainment


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Swimming carnivals are not all about swimming.
It's a great opportunity to dress up in house colours.
It's a great time to enjoy the entertainment of fantasy and just being wild for awhile.
