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)

A Touch of Gold

Sunny bright yellows
Tiny winding trail of gold
A quest for beauty

Searching band of gold
Shy single old impression
Some yellow brick road

Beautiful words and photo...I love that her "yellow brick road" is trailing behind her. Who knows what she'll find as she marches forward?
