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)

Early Spring Pinks


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Early Spring blossoms at Tyabb Art and Craft Centre entrance, Mornington Peninsula.
I could not believe finding these blossoms.
Spring is still several weeks away, and already the bright gold of black wattle is blooming too, all along the roadways!

We've seen a lot of blooms too due to the unseasonally warm weather in Sydney.
