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)

pieces of pier...


a view of Schnapper Point at Mornington when the old pier was getting a make-over - 2013
The pier in this photo looks as if it is in 2 parts...
(and just finished August 2015)...


a deceiving bay
where wind-swept seas burst into
a wild dance

sharing sea stories?...


when the caravel Notorious was docked at Mornington pier earlier this year,
there were many curious wanderers around...
The deck of the caravel is just below the two men in the foreground...
