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)

scaffolding...


Interesting caption on this scaffolding sign on a property in Dromana.
It seems to suggest that they use new ideas and they treat the danger in their work seriously.

bike riders...


Bike riders are a common sight in my Mornington Peninsula.
Often, large bike riding events are held here.
This photo is of riders participating in the Round the Bay bike round last October.
The scene is the main street of Dromana.

can be a challenge
