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)

Like a Lilac Gem...


I do not know what this flower may be. It simply has a gentle beauty.

Like a lilac gem
Touch of coloured happiness
Glowing quietly

Broken-Winged Cockatoo


This white cockatoo has a broken wing.
But he seems to be able to fly quite well!
We have seen him round our home for several years and we've named him Gammy!

Disability
A wing that will not fold down
Still he keeps flying

Changing Signs


This little place at Bittern keeps changing its name.
It used to be a Christmas shop.
Then it was named Ruby Finch - import clothing and accessories.
Always fascinating because it is really like a very very tiny home.

Some tea and chatter
Seems like a gathering place
Quaint and creative


This is the name that has appeared over the last week.
So far I have not seen it open.

Early morning waters drifting in to shore at Tootgarook on the Mornington Peninsula

Magic of early morning
