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)

I wonder who's lucky enough to sneak away to this lovely spot and do fun things on the river in the little white boat -

I like the small boat...so cute. I wish I can ride that kind of boat. And the place is so interesting..looks like near in the farm.
