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)

Point Nepean Transporter


This piece of machinery looks like a tractor!
But it is used to haul open carriages for those who don't wish to walk the hilly 6km stretch ~ at Point Nepean on the far southern end of the peninsula.
The whole is called a "transporter"!
So here, do we see a window or a door?

Unique travel mode
Open to fresh air and views
Recycled tractor.



A view of the rocky headland and transporter as it nears the end of its journey.
I walked the whole distance once - one way.
On this day, I chose to take the transporter between points of interest.
Fortunately it has several stopping areas and runs half hourly.

Beaches


Here is the entrance to Beaches, a popular restaurant at Mornington.
I like the upward slightly winding pathway leading to the arched doorway.
New life has been breathed into this building.
It used to be a church hall built in 1923.

Arched door lives again
Hunger drives the bustling feet
Food for limbs and soul

Whimsical Door and Two Windows!


This windmill feature used to stand alongside a mini railway attraction at Tyabb Art and Craft Centre on the Mornington Peninsula.
The mini railway is no more.
But the windmill lives on.

A lonely windmill
Blind windows and nowhere door
Still so beautiful

Boat Shed Door Fantasy


Gaily painted doors on a boat shed at Dromana beach, Mornington Peninsula

Bright boatshed artwork
Colours of the beach landscapes
Like holiday signs

Window Catalogue


This house at Rye on the southern end of the Mornington Peninsula overlooks Port Philip Bay.
It looks like a layer cake of windows!

Bay architecture
Like layered levels of views
Eccentric cabin
