This commendation plaque was
awarded to Pat C and myself in the year 2000 by the KESAB Tidy Towns
program. It was in recognition and appreciation of our efforts in
creating the beautiful garden areas around our home. |
|
This conservatory has a tropical feel and serves to
remind Pat C and myself of the many years we have spent in the tropical areas
of Australia, Asia and the South Pacific.

Please enjoy a relaxing walk through our lovely
gardens.
A cooler area filled with ferns and water
loving plants. There is also a small fish pond to add to the peaceful
atmosphere.

| Another view of the
cooler fern house and fish pond area which is located adjacent to the Lizard
house. |
 |
 |
This area can be used in any weather conditions and
boasts a rotary spit, barbecue and open gas cooking facilities. |
| This recently added
feature to the Tuscany wall area includes a trickling fountain which adds to
the relaxing atmosphere. |

 |
The rather scary lions head which is another feature of
the Tuscany wall located in the sun filled open garden area. |
| At
the other end of our open sun filled area we have a feature in the form of a
mermaid fountain. The trickle of water is very relaxing. |
 |
 |
Under the giant maiden hair fern in the background is
nestled a small pool which is home to our pet axolotl (Mexican walking fish). |
| Adjacent
to the conservatory and fern house area we have a large entertainment room. It
is in here that I have entertained at many functions for my friends and have at
times, raised money for charity. |
 |
|
|
Our entertainment area is located alongside the
barbecue and rotary spit. The décor is made up from various artifacts,
paintings and carvings that Pat C and I have accumulated over many years of
travelling throughout Australia, New Zealand, Asia, India and the Pacific
Islands of Fiji, Samoa and the Kingdom of Tonga.
