A Walk
Through the Garden
I took these photos the day we first discovered the land that
had been waiting for us!
February 2002
I really
love the driveway, which enters at the back of the property.
The banksias
in every part of the garden look so at home
(and they're obviously inhabited by some of the Big Bad Banksia Men).
The standard Ned Kelly
Grevillea is beautifully contrasted by another, softer foliaged grevillea
and a feathery white shrub, which I think is a Thryptomene (sp?)
The flowers
of the grevilleas are complex and very beautiful.
Beatrice
just can't keep her hands off the weeds!
Here's
Beatrice doing the honours, pulling out the FIRST weed
(and this before we even owned the place)!
I just
don't seem to be able to resist taking photos of these superb rocks
You can
stand in the middle of this copse of casuarinas and watch the pondlife.
I know there's quite a
lot of grass to mow - but then I've always wanted an excuse to own a ride-on
mower.
This photo
is taken from the bottom end of the property, so that's the end of our walk.
