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)

Strange Boat Emblem


An interesting emblem on the side of a yacht at Blairgowrie
The boat's name was Wilderness Wear.

Ruby Tuesday meme

Like a frilled necked lizard
Like living pre-history
Like a legend sign

A boat berthed at Blairgowrie on the southern end of the peninsula.
Somehow, the name of the boat seems a little strange!
