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)

Stranger Connections


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A man and his daughter gathering seeds from plants in Dromana carpark, Mornington Peninsula. The plants were to be trimmed in time for the tourist season. The two people had quite a magical aura about them as they went about their unusual task. And they attracted some curious attention.

It seems really nice just witnessing what goes on between strangers. I wonder what they were chatting about?

I like how you took the photos and wrote a piece of poetry around them. The poetry gives the pictures so much meaning!

Funny how we regard people as 'strangers' until we see them out with their kids.
