"Heatherbrae"

Last Saturday we visited "Heatherbrae" one of the open gardens in Winmalee.  I love this garden, which we have visited twice before.  It is one of the earliest homes built at "North Springwood" (now Winmalee) and is an old sandstone and timber residence with several outbuildings.  There is a promenade of Manchurian Pear trees, tall hedges, old iron gateways and fencing and wandering guineafowl creating an atmosphere of a time gone by.

Beautiful sandstone walls and interesting window awnings on the front of the house.

 This is the back of the house with an outside sandstone paved patio and vine covered pergola with table and chairs for outdoor dining.

Here is the vine covered pergola, looking like a little bit of Tuscany except for the statue of a kangaroo making it very much Australian.  There is a tinkling fountain at the back of the pergola.

The Manchurian Pear Walkway.
