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

Drift


Boats waiting round a pier at Schnapper Point, Mornington


Boats, dreams, memories
Drift on the whims of the tides
Like waiting for chance

Relaxing Boating


Drifting around the waters at Schnapper Point, Mornington was this guy in his little boat.
He was leaning back, relaxing and using pedals to get around!

Pedalling a boat
Unusual way to sail
Relaxing past time

Light


Boats moored quietly in early morning light at Schnapper Point, Mornington Peninsula

Falls and trails of light
A sign of gentle guidance

Just a Touch of Red


Last Sunday afternoon, the Winter sunlight seemed to cast a magical atmosphere at Schnapper Point, Mornington.
In the background are the cranes still completing the new pier.

To Pier or Not To Pier!


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A strange water view!
The pier at Schnapper Point, Mornington Peninsula is being re-built.
Supposedly, it is to be finished by December 2010.
This is how far it has advanced by 16th December, with only days left to complete.
(The structure on the right is part of the old pier.)
But, in all fairness, there has been so many days of rain, that it would be hard to keep to a schedule.
And I'd much rather safety and quality building were high priorities!
