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
Her far horizons, her jewel-sea: a rose-tinted sunset of amber salt spray azure musk.
