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)

Ruffled But Still


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Seagulls lined up on a wall at Fisherman's Beach, Mornington Peninsula.
As I only focused on the first seagull, the others look like a strange, fading echo!

Weekend Nature #10 ~ Seagull Habitat


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Seagulls all doing their own "thing" at Sorrento beach, Mornington Peninsula.
This photo seems odd to me.
Seagulls are standing on rocks right near seagulls swimming - with only a small difference in height.
