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)

Soft Blue Waters at Queenscliff


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ View of the Port Phillip Bay coastline at Queenscliff, Bellarine Peninsula.
In the distance you can see Australia's only black lighthouse with matching black water tower!
They stand on the last headland before Bass Strait.

Scenic bay coastline
Today soft rippling waters

What a lovely shot and a beautiful scenery! It looks so peaceful - no waves and a blue sky! I wish "my" beach looked like this.

I love the colours - it's like the bay I can see from my sitting room - that lovely blue of the sea and the fawn coloured sand.

Lovely Gemma. Would you like to trade seasons for a day or two? Your picture makes me wish for a magic carpet.
