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)

Ruby Harmonies

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Dromana bathing boxes, Mornington Peninsula.
I decided for this Ruby Tuesday, I would look for red in an unexpected place. These bathing boxes seemed like a great idea. Most favour sea blues and sand golds, but there was a hint of red to be found.

I love the name Dromana, is it an old name and does it have special ancient meaning???

I love that they're called bathing boxes - I've never heard that term.

You created such a wonderful collage!

Nicely done collage and what a nifty source of red. I'm especially fond of the one with the beach umbrella.

Good Ruby Tuesday choices - I like that it's a collection, like a collage. Is a bathing box a place to change into a swimsuit? Or is it something else?

Gayle said...

Very colorful and pretty buildings. I've never heard of a bathing box...I'm guessing people use them to store their stuff for the beach and change in? Hmmm...

Here in the states we would call them "cabanas" - my family had one on Atlantic Beach in New York when I was younger. Great finds for Ruby Tuesday!
