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)

soft summer light...


Skies a year ago at Mornington.
Today's skies are just a rather uninteresting bland grey.
But I see a small chink of sunlight.
There is hope.


soft summer light
teasing the hope of
beach lovers

Slipping Coastline


Rugged coastline at Point Nepean, the furthest point south on the Mornington Peninsula.
The waters of Bass Strait are on the right.
The land is slowly slipping in to the sea.


fading coastline
Mother Nature gives her earth
new dimension

Magical Coastline


Beautiful coastline round London Bridge Ocean Beach on the southern end of the Mornington Peninsula.
Mini waterfalls, strange rock shapes and pools abound!
And the surf is exciting!

So many wonders
If we only took some time
To just stand and stare

Sweeping Coastline


A view of the Mornington Peninsula coastline on Port Phillip Bay between Fisherman's Beach and Schnapper Point.

Sweeping, tiny beach
Like a sheltered wilderness
Of sea, rocks and sands

Coastline Panorama


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Panoramic view of the Mornington Peninsula coastline round Port Phillip Bay as viewed from Arthurs Seat mountain.
The white streaks in the water are jet ski trails. Jet skis are very popular in the summer holidays round Dromana (near the pier in the foreground) and Safety Beach (in the next bay area beyond Dromana and near Mount Martha).
