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)

But there is a flag in a different colour!
And it's ruby red!

Exotic sea of blue
Facade of watery joys

Do I envy the sapphire blue sky a ditto shop.
Must be a great place to live.
I shall not pretend to know what "billabong" means, but I know it's Australian and the word is sung in Waltzing Mathilda.
Hope you have a great while ahile we are celebrating spring.
