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)

Good morning Gemma. I just can't get enough of Australia's cockatoos. Isn't he just the most handsome fella with his pretty butter yellow plummage?

They are such lovely birds, with their antics and their laughter...

Can be a bit noisy at times, though :-)

Cool photos !!!

We would never be able to see one of these here... wish we could. They probably are no more noisy than the Canada Geese. Love the touch of yellow.
