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)

the wind loves her hat...


This little girl at Balnarring Beach is gingerly heading to her hat whisked off by the wind...
(Note - Our peninsula summer still requires jumpers and sometimes jackets as well)


I am loved
by a handsome breeze
we danced

I am surprised to see her wearing a sweater (jumper). I assumed summer was really hot there. :)

Cute shot. Hope her hat wasn't too wet to wear.

Amazing poetry. The shore weather is similar to Oregon's....it is an unusual summer day when you don't need at least a light jacket when walking on the beach.
