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)

Celebrating the Scarecrow


Collage by Gemma Wiseman ~ October is Scarecrow Festival time on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria.
There are many fascinating interpretations of scarecrows to be found around Red Hill and the mountain of Arthurs Seat.
Some unusual scarecrows are mask-like faces on decorative boards that have been added to colourful posts gracing the side of Arthurs Seat Road at Red Hill.
There is a tall, Queen-like figure and even a giant snail.
There is a blue gowned figure hanging from a tree.
