A peaceful moment for you today


Cable Beach, Western Australia
This beach gets its name from the cable that was laid in 1889 between Broome and Java.
The sun setting over the Indian Ocean is a real treat
The beach is 22 kilometers long, with the red ochre cliffs contrasting sharply with the white sand.

MY COUNTRY
By Australian Poet Dorothea Mackellar
Published: 1908

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!

If I were there in Australia, I'd be seasick, the stairs, the ocean is like a giant bathtub. But the air would be clean!
