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)

Beneath the surface
Troubled currents heave and fall
Rough and raw beauty

Hello Gemma
Can almost 'feel' the movement of that water. Wouldn't want to be venturing down those steps would you
Hopefully its a lot calmer down there now.
Take care
Cathy
