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)

Holiday Signs


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ These flags flew in the main street of Dromana, Mornington Peninsula in the December/January summer holidays 2008.
This is the time when many tourists escape to the magical world of the peninsula on Port Phillip Bay.
Dromana is one of the many small but vibrant coastal villages along the way.
