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)

rain, cold wind and a beach...


It's rainy, it's cold and it's windy...
Yet still people walk Dromana beach...
One carries a beach umbrella - to contend with the rain...
But in this scene, the umbrella seems to be useful for prodding some sea grass...
(there's a sliver of red in the folded umbrella)


lure of beach worlds
kaleidoscope of seasons
brews the magic

sharing sea stories?...


when the caravel Notorious was docked at Mornington pier earlier this year,
there were many curious wanderers around...
The deck of the caravel is just below the two men in the foreground...


a curious ship
attracts
curious people

The sun peeked out for just a short time...

A summer beach is not just all about swimming.
It can be enjoying the sea view and chatting...
