Australia is a vision of people...growing together...but burdened with
Old legends from other lands and lifetimes...
Other dreamings...
Sighing...
Stumbling into tomorrow...
We have no legend that is Australia NOW...
The spirit of Blue Mountains
And Sapphire Coast dreamers...
The old soul of the Gold Coast...
Sunshine...
Adelaide Hills...
Secrets of Yarra wanderers or Margaret River wines...
Or Ghan travellers seeking the heart of midnight...
No soul of living...
Australia has the beauty for the camera eye...
Tasmania...Eden memories of our natural state...
A feast for the visual senses...
But where...
Where are the lyrics of our song...
NOW!!!
I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman
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)
