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)

Is that a sculpture of a penguin? Interesting place for the seagull to rest. Nice combo.

Hi!
Great shot! A bird on a bird, almost like a totem pole. Have a great day!
