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)

an odd scene...


an odd scene at Dromana beach...
This is a catamaran on its side and the rollers on the right are used to wheel the cat to the water...

the saga continues...


the Pearl Beach Resort saga in Dromana began way back in 2010...
(The old Italian pizza restaurant is being utilised as a sales office - seen in the back ground above...)
But still there seems to be no sign of progress with this project
- other than demolishing an old home...
My earlier posts featuring other signs for this resort are HERE - 2010 (before the house was demolished)
and HERE - 2012...
And now, the sign above notably has no name of developer or agent - unlike the earlier signs...


enigma
progress cast
in limbo


and the sign above appears on a temporary wall...
