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)

Oh what I wouldn't give for a nice warm mud pool now. It's below freezing and seriously windy here.

There's an unside-down impressionist painting on that puddle! Lovely capture, Gemma.
