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 ocean off your part of Australia is such a beautiful colour. I love to listen to the surf. Maybe If I look at your photo long enough, I will hear the pounding of the waves. :)

Now...that is a lovely scene! Those in the cold parts of the world will long to be on that beach!

I love how you put the words together in a form of a haiku to describe your photo.
