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)

Beach towel ...oh yes...hope our summer this year will not be as cruel as in the past few years. I am dreading to think of another scorching summer season.

Summer for you, winter for me. Makes me wish I could be back in Arizona for the whole winter instead of the midwest. Enjoy your holidays!

Thanks for visiting and commenting on my TWTW post.
