native plantings along walkways are bird-attracting; this one a flowering grevillea
a lovely old home up there, just as we're about to
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.
