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)

To rest by water
To dream of far away dreams
To just be at one

There will always be a phrase in our lives that we wish we were birds with the ability to fly everywhere and stopping to rest and view the scenic views :)

Have a good week ahead Gemma!
