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)

Wetland and Wildlife Creations


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Buy art Wetland and Wildlife Creations vehicle parked at Flinders beach, Mornington Peninsula.
This is an award winning (and only) environmental company in Australia, based at Main Ridge near Arthurs Seat.
It specialises in consulatation, design and construction of wetland and wildlife habitats.
But isn't it strange how words can be double-edged.
The fact that such a company exists is a sad reflection on civilisation.
Humanity needs to "patch up" a connection with Nature.

I agree that we humans have made a fine mess of our planet. I hope it isn't too late to fix things...but we certainly need to try.

Agreed. A rather sad commentary on our times and relationships with nature, that we should need to pay someone to put things back the way they ought to have always been. Good post, Gemma. :-)
