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)

Soft Blue Waters at Queenscliff


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ View of the Port Phillip Bay coastline at Queenscliff, Bellarine Peninsula.
In the distance you can see Australia's only black lighthouse with matching black water tower!
They stand on the last headland before Bass Strait.
