The highlight of this walk was a plant I had never seen before. Tall stems with large white flowers stood out from a distance. They were the Queen of the Night species of cactus. They are a native species ranging from Mexico to Nicaragua in South America.

Hayride Lane runs from Country Club Drive to Bridle Path. It is short curved and slightly steep with no footpaths.

Some nice specimens of roses are featured is some gardens.

The delicate pink flowers of the evening primrose plant are worth a close inspection.

The only birds seen were three noisy miners a well-fed magpie and another magpie upon a fence.

Speaking of fences, some nice well-maintained picket ones were seen as were a not so well-maintained wooden one.

A myriad of agapanthus were along Hayride Lane including some acting as front fences.

The tecoma shrub has attractive trumpet-like yellow flowers.

Two large landscaped areas looked particularly attractive and well cared for.

Only two garden ornaments were seen.

Balustrades always look attractive giving a European look when installed.

Many echeveria succulents were in flower and stalks of canary grass Canary grass is a plant, originally a native of the Mediterranean region, it is now grown commercially in several parts of the world for birdseed.

A large block had been cleared of any structure with only the mailbox remaining.

Hayride Lane can be found on Melways map 37. K.5.
