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)

Christmas by the Sea


On Christmas Day, this couple strolled the Portsea pier on the Mornington Peninsula.
The photo was taken from the gardens of the Portsea Hotel.

A summer Christmas
Strolling by the bay waters
A touch of dreaming

Fishermen


Fishermen on Dromana pier overlooking Port Phillip Bay.
Amazing how that little red bucket seems to stand out!

Patient fishermen
Always seeking a fine catch
Strength for all seasons

End of the school year - time to share a welcome Christmas luncheon

Red for signs of warmth
Red for signs of sharing joy
Red for Christmas souls

Yarra Red


Strange feature by the banks of the Yarra River in Melbourne
On this overcast day, this seemed to glow with colour!

Fiery symbol
Like a burst of flaming light
Brightness on grey days

One Summer Day...


Dromana beach scene on the one summer day we have had so far in November.
Even Spring seems to be hiding on most days!
(Mount Martha is in the background!)

Summer sands and skies
A touch of red on the beach
Quite noticeable

Jet Ski Season


On the one day when there was a sign of Summer, the jet skies were humming on the waters of Port Phillip Bay.
This photo was taken at Safety Beach when one jet ski decided to rest in the late afternoon light.

Jet ski mania
Carve a watery race track
Holiday for some

Yachts for Nippers


Mini training yachts for young sailors at Schnapper Point, Mornington.
Here they are being checked before the young ones have a sailing lesson.

Sails for young sailors
Like a fleet of bright rainbows
Fun and practical

Little Girl in Red


Photo taken at London Bridge Ocean Beach on the Mornington Peninsula.
I zoomed in from the cliff top on this little girl who seemed busy with some kind of fishing!

Red Cheeked Scarecrow


It's Scarecrow Festival time on the Mornington Peninsula.
Each October, the hinterland parades a range of crazy features outside the hinterland properties.
This entry is near the tiny collection of shops at Red Hill.

Seller of market flowers
Her face beams sadness

Nature's Watery Sculptures


At London Bridge Ocean Beach, Portsea are some amazing rock formations and water features.
This guy decided he would risk the incoming tide and stand in one of them!

Waters dancing round strange rocks
