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)

Valley of Autumn Secrets


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ An arcing road leads to Eldridge Estate Winery, Red Hill, Mornington Peninsula.
The vines may be leafless, but there is still a hint of white roses guarding them at the end of each row.
