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)

Part of the activities on the Dromana foreshore, Mornington Peninsula included painting and drawing for children.

Carry on Tuesday #37 ~ This week our prompt is a quote from the 18th century artist Sir Joshua Reynolds:
A room hung with pictures is a room hung with thoughts.
~

Old rooms hung with thoughts
Rooms hung with children's pictures
Birth of innocence
