Kurrajong Avenue is very short but it starts and ends with a reserve.


It starts at Hull Road with an open grassed area with a few mature trees.


In its short 200 metres, a large variety of floral specimens are to be enjoyed. A red bottlebrush tree was visible from afar, while the subtle greens of the Correa bush needed a close inspection to enjoy.




Salvias come in many different species of colours, shapes and sizes. A white and pink variety showed its beauty on close inspection.


A mass of salvia had escaped from under a paling fence and up close its true beauty was revealed.




Another escapee was a large bush of white daisies.


An escapee of a different kind was a Nasturtium flower and leaves emerging from another plant.


A cement hippo was seen in one garden while another had two white painted metal wheels mounted upon posts on either side of their driveway.




One house appeared as to dislike junk mail, so refused to collect it from their mailbox.


Cotoneaster trees seem to be very popular as many gardens were home to them, noticeably conspicuous when covered with their bright red berries. Another large bush with small white flowers was unidentified but looked nice up close.




Several Kangaroo Paw plants were a feature of one garden, while the only pedestrian traffic was one man and his dog.




Kurrajong Avenue ends at Kurrajong Reserve. This reasonably sized reserve has a small playground and a gravel path leading to Kiloran Avenue.




It was in this reserve that a couple of King Parrots were seen to land in a nearby tree, very noticeable with their bright red breasts. Other avian activity were several distant magpies.


While only a short walk, a walk through the Kurrajong Reserve will double the distance and pleasure.
