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)

It is exciting to visit your site. Your world is mysterious, exotic and so far away. I've been to Australia but saw really so little. Thanks for expanding my horizon.

Wow, your site is so unique! Love it. The mosaic today is provocative - I really enjoyed it. Nice, nice work.

I feel the need to spend some time looking around... this is going to take some serious time away from my work today, I'll have you know ;)

What wonderful images, Gemma! There is a sort of eerie feeling to them -- so unusual and so beautiful, too. Thanks so much for sharing at Mosaic Monday. :)
