This 800 metre drive can only be accessed from Peppertree Way, which runs of Lakeview Drive in the Lakeview Estate.


It is a colourful street with many mass displays of flowers, daisies, azaleas and camellias.






More large displays of daisies had a nice backdrop of three earthenware pots full of flowers.



It's a newly established area with all wires underground giving an open fee,l as in early spring, the deciduous street trees had not sprouted leaves.


Polygala bushes were in full bloom as were many hebe bushes.




Very few birds were seen, only a few magpies and one Indian myna, which I followed from lawn to roof top to departure.




Few birds but many bird baths decorated front gardens, with one playing host to a happy gnome.


A most unusual pink tubular flower looks like a member of the heath genus.


An exotic looking cluster of small mauve flowers around a central hub looked most unusual.


A clump of daffodils, a bush of lavender and a verge planting of geraniums around the base of a street tree attracted attention.


Only one walking couple were seen on this short walk and no dogs were seen but several were heard as I passed.


At the southern end of Eucalypt Drive is a walkway to Hull Road.


What is becoming popular in many quiet streets are portable basketball hoops on nature strips.


An old fashioned tall lamp adorned one garden, while another flew an Australian flag. There were also some very nice landscaped gardens.



A bare-branched tree was the centrepiece of one garden surrounded by a garden bed of azaleas and clivias.




Large trees in new areas are rare so a tall Norfolk Island pine stood out.



A yellow daffodil blended in with some yellow daisies and a yellow daisy stood out among many white ones.


Several magnolia trees were in various stages of flowering and many banksia bushes were in their prime.




This is an easy walk and flower wise a colourful one, with a footpath on only one side.
