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)

sign enigma...


These signs are in the Hillview Community Reserve in Dromana...
The proposed leash free area for dogs has been on the council agenda for some years
(approx since 2010)
- though the sign is only about a year old...
(NOTE: the sign says off-lease and not off-leash... hmmm)
The second sign indicates that this area is utilised for bike riders and walkers
who wish to meet the challenge of climbing to Arthurs Seat
(highest point on the Mornington Peninsula)
via a rather steep track...
(It is a very popular track - especially at weekends...)
Meanwhile, there is also a BMX track on the drawing board - but no sign for that one...


signs
may mix facts
and maybes

Wetlands in Black and White


Small wetlands in a reserve on Boundary Road, Dromana.


Ordinary space
No action or excitement
Just plants and water

A space for dreaming
Where grasses sway in the winds
Collecting secrets
