Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ High on Arthurs Seat mountain, looking down to the coastline of Port Phillip Bay, Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia. Arthurs Seat National Park faces the bay. Only a few homes fringe the park. On the other sides of the mountain are many rural properties which feature vineyards. Below Arthurs Seat, on the bay, is the popular seaside village of Dromana, with its gaily coloured beach huts. Many huts were originally bathing boxes from the early 20th century.

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)

indeed. we merely rent. cool. :)
I would have no problem with wondering around in that world! A bit too far away, though :-(
Gemma: Your photography of this lovely area of your world comes through in this wonderful post. I love the Australian Coast with all the trees in your park. Welcome to My World.
a beautiful view! you must enjoy it immensely.
What a beautiful, beautiful place! Thanks for sharing this part of your world!
Very beautiful shots!! greeting from sunny Spain :)
Yep - that is true - and too often we fail to pay rent.
Wonderful views!
Thank you for sharing!
Cheers, Klaus
What a great vantage point you have! You can see for miles. I would spend a lot of time there and get the most for my rent ;-)
It is a spectacular view of the coast. I am dismayed to hear that the cancer of vinyards has spread so far. Soon we will have no more food production and will be exporting our precious water in irrigation wines.
I like your expression of just enting the place. I have always felt that we are but temporary custodians.
Oi I wish I could visite your country ones! You live in a beautiful corner of the world:)
That is a wonderful view, and it would have worked well for Sky Watch also! Love that big sky!
I look forward to seeing more of your world that we all rent, as you say. :D
Stunning views, thanks for sharing with us
Positively beautiful! You are fortunate to live in such a lovely area.
In my world, the mountains are far from the sea. You have given us a glimopse of the beauty that is in Australia! Thanks for visiting my world.
I would love to roam in your part of the world
What a wonderful view. I love the feeling of space you have evoked. Thank you. :)
Thanks for the wonderful trip around your place. So very much different from my place but I do wanna share my place also to you. Great job.
