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)

ABC Wednesday Round 3 prompt ~ N is for Novel
~
The usual novel may be found in a bookshop. While I love reading meaty, challenging novels that explore ancient worlds or even future worlds, I am also fascinated by a a very different kind of novel.
I love capturing the novel, unusual image!

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ The novel image may be the rather odd sight of two animals seldom found grazing so closely together at Red Hill

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ The novel image may be of colourful posts decorating school grounds at Red Hill. And the designs imitate Aboriginal artwork.

Look around the world
Free the imagination

Free the imagination
See from a great height

I thought of trumpeting my Novel but decided to keep a humble profile.
With shelves full of novels you would think I might have chosen thus.
