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)

Still remember the old camp song: Laugh Kookaburra. They actually do look as if they are laughing.

I remember the old Kookaburra song too!
I just sat here and sang it before I typed this, to make sure I remembered how it went.

Tea time sounds wonderful!
I like tea.
A lot. :)
