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)

Moments in the past
Keys can't unlock crumbling doors
Let closed rooms weather

I see the word verification is unionha! Union? Ha!

I hope the key making and joinery is better than their construction :)
