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)

Reflection Segment


A not uncommon sight to see flags flying on cars round Australia Day each January.
But the added etching of the trees as a reflection in the car window seems to create a dimensional gallery of a passing parade.

Parade of two worlds
One symbol of a nation
One Nature's symbol

Songs for Nobodies


A Melbourne tram running along Swanston Street advertises this unusual one-woman show.
Bernadette Robinson plays five ordinary women and five iconic singers - Judy Garland, Patsy Cline, Billie Holiday, Edith Piaf and Maria Callas. Each “nobody” recounts an intimate tale of how her life was transformed by an encounter with one of these icons.
The show has been performed in Melbourne's Fairfax Theatre and will be performed at the Sydney Opera House from February 3 - March 4. For more details see HERE!

And here is a taste!


It only matters

C is for Chaos


An attraction for young children set up near Flinders Station in Melbourne over the summer holiday season.
It is a CHAOS of tangled threads and colours - as in a maze.
The children may get tangled safely.

Chaos of colour
A crazy tangle of threads
