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)

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ At Martha Cove, penthouse styles grace the fringe of the water with many having access to their own piers.
This is the public walkway from the opening to Port Phillip Bay right down the newly dredged channel.

Would someone be able to tell me what is my mystery invader?

Very kewl haiku and photos. Some local neighbors are flying that same flag in front of their house these days but I've not asked them why just yet. Small world, eh?
Hugs and blessings,

Was there a legend of buried treasures in that cove?

Hey Harriet said...

A cute idea having that Jolly Roger flag there! How nice it must be to reside in a penthouse apartment with your very own private pier access! I can only dream of living in such a place!

My daughter and her late husband dressed as pirates one year for Halloween, they looked so authentic,human hair beards and all, no one had a clue who they were, they had a blast. It was Matt's last Halloween, but we have lots of pics to remind us of the fun while we had our dear Matt.

It's a pirates life for me matey...argh...or maybe just gimme Johnny Depp...right!

That was so much fun passing that award on to Robin, she is so like minded and I can identify with her Mother too, they are dear, talented friends, true soul sisters from further north in Michigan state...too cold up there for me!

See ya bud!!!(I wish)
