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)

These were very cleverly done...that urge to shop can certainly take over, especially in winter when cabin fever takes over and you must get out of the house.

P.S. Beautiful music playing on your blog...
