Jull Parade gently meanders north from Oban Road for 800 metres to Tortice Drive.
We are here.
Any gradients are only gentle, so wheelchairs and the mobility challenged would cope with this floral walk.
A gentle curve.
It is definitely agapanthus flowering season and many gardens displayed specimens. One display that caught my camera lens was a white specimen growing among the normal blue ones.
Nice contrast.
Several hebe bushes were seen - their subtle coloured blooms contrasting nicely with their dark green foliage.
The flowering hebe bush.
A particularly beautiful flowering bush was a pink oleander bush. Beautiful, but deadly, said to be very poisonous to humans and animals if digested. A definite case of look and don't touch!
They do look nice.
White flowers do have a beauty of their own. Jasmine and mamdevilla were two species that stood out.

Unusual mailboxes are always of interest, some even having an armed guard.
It must be Christmas.
Guarding the mail.
A bonus to this street walk is that
Mahon Reserve runs parallel to it behind the houses on the western side.
One of the entrances to Mahon Reserve.
Two access points from Jull Parade will allow an extended walk in Mahon Reserve, which is popular with dog walkers and hosts a small playground.

A low growing gum tree was interesting with future gum nuts and mature ones almost side by side.

A noisy miner was noticed sitting quietly on a power line, while a magpie fossicked on a front lawn.

A crested pigeon in a nearby tree waited long enough to be photographed before departing.

The new species of garden owl seem to be multiplying. A metal one stood guard upon a tree stump in one front yard. I wonder if they fool the fauna that usually supply their meals.
Metal owl.
A vivid yellow plant stood out on what was an overcast day. It was identified as a dusty miller, not to be confused with the AFL footballer with a similar sounding name.

Becoming popular are aeonium plants. When planted or allowed to grow en-masse they look very attractive.
Aeoniums look attractive en mass.
Every street walk offers something new in the way of flora. And Jull Parade was not different, showing me several flowers that the folks at nearby Branch Out Nursery were able to identify.
Very colurful.
Street walks are fun, they combine exercise with almost an open garden at each house.
