1st - 30th September 2008 Wander through the European-style Formal Garden where the symmetry is identical on both sides.
The Rose Garden contains 8,000 roses and is shaped in a corkscrew design.
Pass through the 180 year old antique Indian Elephant gates to The Indian Mosaic Tea Garden. See the superb mosaic of flowers, groundcovers and pebbles then wander into the Indian Tea House.
The Chinese Moongate Garden features Bamboo, Weeping Mulberries and spectacular Camellia and Magnolia Trees.
The Waterfall and Sunken Garden features a 10-metre waterfall and large garden beds ablaze with the colour of magnificent annual displays.
The Border Garden which is over an acre in size is influenced by French style parterre gardens with pleaching and hedging.
The Avenue is a beautiful European-style walk lined with Evergreen trees, and magnificent urns with cascading seasonal flowers.
The Storybook Garden is a delight for children of all ages taking the visitor on a journey through childhood dreams, memories and fantasies. Enjoy the Mad Hatters Tea Party with Alice in Wonderland, see Humpty Dumpty, creative topiary.
Enjoy the scented Lavender lining the wall of the Italian Walk leading to Saint Francis of Assisi, patron saint of birds and animals, together with olive trees and a variety of citrus.
Water, native bird life and the largest display of ‘Zoysia’ grass in Australia surround the Oriental Garden and Japanese Pagoda.
The Lakes Walk is where you will see the cascading waterfall with Snapdragons, Pansies, Polyanthus, Ranuculus, Calendula and Dianthus planted on its banks. A picture perfect atmosphere can be admired if you venture onto the island and take a seat under the Weeping Willow tree so you can take in all the splendour of the garden– all combining to create “A World of Colour”.
