Walking Circular Quay to Lavender Bay - Part Three

native plantings along walkways are bird-attracting; this one a flowering grevillea

walking down now to the front of the grey apartments

they have this view

a lovely old home up there, just as we're about to

 go through the tunnel under the rail line, and up those steps

in view now is the home of Wendy Whitely, wife to the late Brett Whitely, artist

we have come to see Wendy's "Secret Garden".  It's one she was instrumental in creating from a section of land at the front of her home which had belonged to N.S.W. Rail.  Buried in the undergrowth were old rail carraiges, and more.  It has since evolved into a beautiful public place, open year round for all. 

overlooking Lavender Bay

Part four, we shall see more of the gardens
