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)

Hanging Music


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ My windchimes hanging from my verandah railing.
They hang here rather than higher because Dromana is prone to strong sea winds and the chimes can crash rather than ring!

The joy of windchimes
Like unfinished symphonies
Sweet rings for the soul

Great tae for the theme! And smart to protect the chimes from the wind. (We usually bring ours inside when the wind gets real strong).

I have to find my windchimes. I haven't located them after our move. I usually have a set hanging in my bedroom window.

Some communities you aren't allowed to hang chimes outside in case it disturbs the neighbours. Luckily, that isn't a rule in our co-op.

My PhotoHunt is up

I love the sound of wind chimes. Oddly, I haven't yet set any outside my own home.

clever idea for hanging...love your blog.
My mum and dad lived in Mornington, we loved the area. The redHill market, the main st Market, the combination of country and seaside.

I used to live in Melbourne but moved to Brisbane some 17 years or so ago.

lovely to meet you
