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)

Hi Gemma, I love the way the light falls in the picture.

And the way each stanza invites you closer in the haiku links.

The bittersweet contrast comes through clearly: Gentle pony and wire fence. The poem makes me appreciate where we find solace. Lovely!
