Flying roos

Photo of the wing of a Qantas domestic plane, and the tail of a larger Qantas plane beside each other. The Qantas logos are visible on both.

Flying kangaroos:
big sister goes overseas,
small one explores home.

Rough

Photo of the hilly and rocky landscape of South Australia as seen from a Qantas aircraft, with the wing of the Abe visible on the photo.

Pockmarked and freckled,
rough around the edges: earth;
imperfect is life.

Unknown

Photo of the flight path map in a plane travelling from Australia to New Zealand across the Tasman sea.

Teetering on edge:
moving to a new country;
jumping off a cliff.

Down Under

Photo of a typical landscape: dry grass, a deep blue sky with green hills in the background, a few gumtrees and kangaroos lazing on the grass.

Cloudless deep blue skies;
quintessential down under:
parched kangaroo grass.

Perseverance

Close up photo of an apricot flower on the tree.
Apricot blossoms

A three-month labour;
Mother Nature persevered,
to give birth to spring.
