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)

A Winter Flowering


Who would believe that a tree would flower in winter!
But some wattles do - just like this one at McCrae on the Mornington Peninsula.


in the chilly months
a touch of blossoming sun's
like Winter relief

Precious earth metal
Happiness locked in a reef
Gold bars imprison

Precious earth flowers
Free to grow and be adored
Sunbursts on Spring trees

In a golden place
Light grows in beams of magic
Hope and smiles on wings

Gold banks or gold dreams
Stagnant greed or Nature's child
Gold locks or gold keys
