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)

The color red is meant to attract our attention. So these singers are wearing red, so we can hear the beautiful harmonies and music sans instrumental accompaniment, and the lovely voices for all to hear,

The Union Jack on the flag of Oz offers a brilliant ruby, too. Happy Australia Day!

Happy belated Australian Day.
You should be proud of your country, which in my school days was counted as a continent.
Wish you luck.
