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)

Coastline Panorama


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Panoramic view of the Mornington Peninsula coastline round Port Phillip Bay as viewed from Arthurs Seat mountain.
The white streaks in the water are jet ski trails. Jet skis are very popular in the summer holidays round Dromana (near the pier in the foreground) and Safety Beach (in the next bay area beyond Dromana and near Mount Martha).
