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)

plain little yellow boat...


little yellow boat at Mornington...
You can just see a child who is trying to use her feet as a rudder...
(Dad was right nearby keeping a watchful eye)


just a plain little boat
