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)

Ruby Christmas on Two Wheels


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Christmas motorbike ride or Toy Run (annual) down the Mornington Peninsula!
Here a group passes through the traffic lights at Rosebud.
(The orange jackets with SES sign = State Emergency Services)
The main annual Toy Run is practically an institution in Melbourne. Ever since 1978, when forty motorcyclists met to pass on toys to the community’s less privileged via the Salvation Army, more than 100,000 motorcyclists have taken part.
For more details, click on the Motorcycle Rider's Association of Victoria website.
