Spring 2007 - Clifface

This is the back of the garden, and as you an see there is a lot of work to be done. Our house is built in the old Schwebel Quarry, where they cut sandstone to build 19th century Sydney. Behind the banana tree there is a six foot pile of junk that included the decapited figurines and fake flower arrangements. I should have taken some photos, but the the bin beckoned. During the morning the shadows on the clifface dance. Once cleaned up it will be a great place to sit in summer, and could be fun to project images onto the wall at night. John and I intend to make a fernery as most of the day the base is in shade. I love the reataining walls - not what I expected for Greek landscaping.
