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)

A Flying Banana?


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ On the cliff side at Flinders beach Westernport Bay was this yellow hang glider endeavouring to take off!

Trying to hang glide
Trying to find air currents
Trying to be cool

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ This is about "as good as it got"!
Clearly the strings all pointed to the flyer still grounded!

Great shot of the flying banana. Perfect color for MYM.

Great shots you got there. So it never did get off the ground? Rather sad for such a majestic banana!

Geraldine said...

That looks like soooo much fun. Ive always wanted to try flying, like that. A feel good post, thank you.

That's really cool. I never would have guessed it by the first shot that it's a hang glider, but in the second shot I can see it! Fun to watch, but I don't think I'd want to try it! Thanks for the visit to my blog.

Great find and captures for MYM. It reminds me of my kids flying kites every summer with their dad. I can imagine how my boy beams with joy once his kite goes up into the air.
Thanks a lot for leaving a nice comment on my post.
