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)

Beyond the mangroves...


Mangroves are in the foreground.
Beyond the mangroves is a gracious white yacht.
Beyond the yacht are the not so gracious white shapes of industrial plants at Long Island Point.
Large oil tankers dock there.
It is the home of Esso and Bluescope Steel.
This is the view of Westernport Bay at Hastings.

Strange Boat Emblem


An interesting emblem on the side of a yacht at Blairgowrie
The boat's name was Wilderness Wear.

Ruby Tuesday meme

Like a frilled necked lizard
Like living pre-history
Like a legend sign

My Little Tax Toy


This yacht was resting outside the Blairgowrie Yacht Club, Mornington Peninsula
It seems to be a sign of a personal attitude!

When tax seems a game
