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)

New Year's Eve became a light show of thunder, lightning and fireworks and a strangely pink rising moon!
And New Year's Day morning skies looked like this!
Even the magpies don't look overly impressed!
