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)

My World of Vineyards


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Entrance to Tuck's Ridge Vineyard at Red Hill, Mornington Peninsula
~
That's My World Tuesday prompt #3
~

While water worlds are a large part of my landscape on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia, there are many other worlds here. Vineyards are tucked into hilly landscapes. There are many boutique vineyards, especially in my southern area of the peninsula.

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Some, like Montalto Vineyard at Red Hill, like to incorporate unusual artwork into their landscape
~

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Some, like Stillwater Crittendon Estate at Dromana, offer holiday villas by small lakes on the estate and boutique restaurants.
~

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Some wine tasting heartlands look like unusual homes. This is Darling Park winery at Red Hill.
~

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Boutique art galleries thrive in the vineyard worlds. This is the whimsical entrance to Noel's Art Gallery at Main Ridge. It is surrounded by wineries.

Art of Wine on the Vine


Pics by Gemma Wiseman ~ Beautiful landscapes at a Red Hill vineyard, Mornington Peninsula
~
Odd Shot Monday
~

Wine on the vine in
A tapestry of
Boldly coloured
Living
Rolling
Parallels
Beneath
Sponged
Blue skies is
A landscape made for
Relaxing on a
Dreamy Sunday afternoon
~
But add some
Eccentric
Whimsical art
Nonchalantly
Gracing
The dining terrace
The hillside walkways
The secret lake and
The world of wine becomes
A timeless
Fantasy world
~
The perfect escape
