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)

How peaceful your main street looks.
Low houses and lots of space.
To answer the question on the board; I guess my home is worth more to me, than anyone is willing to pay!

I guess businesses use red because it captures attention. Week after week, we look for our own photo rubies to do the same.

Hi Gemma! Love your red flags. They certainly must receive some attention because of their brightness. I'm going to check out your new memes - in fact, I've had a meme idea in my head for a while now and I'm just getting around to making a badge for it, so I'll be launching one too soon. Take care!

Red is so eye-catching by itself. When combined with commerce, it compels to at least take a look. The marketer only needs to get our attention, so a red sign works. I like ths eign furling in the breeze...

Thanks so much!

That's main street? So clean and pristine looking. You're lucky to live in such an area.
