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)

Where the white surf breaks

Where the white surf breaks
Joy is the art of wet feet
Wandering wet sands
~
Where the surf tumbles
Peace is the art of sharing
Early morning dreams

Churning and churning...oh to be by the sea and watch each pebble and shell tumble in the frothy, frolicking waves. I hope your new residence is close to the waves and the shorebirds.
