This is our back gully, we have a dream of having a brilliant outdoor room in the bushland down there overlooking the dam so lovingly referred to by our eldest child as 'syphillis creek' (gotta love teenagers). Moth and Rah have started to transplant some bromeliads, ginger etc down there, along where the path is going to go.
What...you mean you can't see a path yet...lol....? I did say it's a dream and it's about 3/4 of the way down the dream list...well after a new driveway and guest room...a girl's gotta dream! But hey in the mean time enjoy the brilliant flowerspike on this bromeliad, I know I have, in spite of the leaches, ticks and mozzie bites I suffered to take these shots!

Lovin the new blog lay out sister. Can't wait for a garden tour! xx
So lush and leechy!
Is that a collapsed shed in there, or just a pile of old building materials? It looks v snakey :-/
'syphillis creek' ... ha ha.
Your bravery in bringing us this post has not gone unnoticed.
Leaches, ticks and mozzies? I'll leave you to take all the shots, thanks!
They almost looked like Birds of Paradise flowers 'til I looked closer. Still pretty.
Dream big!!
Thanks Cath... I've always had black backgrounds and damn happy to have seen the light! Can't wait to have you all here...will try to not kill anything in the garden between now and then...laughs!
I'm sitting her listening to the rain fall once again Diver, thinking oh great more leeches...then I slap myself silly and remind myself that we need the rain in the tanks...sighs...some days I think I'm not built for country living with all the wildlife! The pile of old building supplies is actually covering a whole stack of hydroponic troughs, Moth's Dad used to grow carnations hydroponic-ally and you never know when we might need em again...lol
Where's ya sense of adventure Angie, thought you would embrace all aussie wildlife creepy and crawly...we have some great ones don't we? Come on over and I'll carry the salt and aerogard...lol!
