Lee-Ann Crescent is a well-established 900 metre long street. It is definitely 1960s vintage with front fences, lawns, footpaths, overhead wires and an occasional weatherboard house.


It is quite a leafy thoroughfare with many mature trees both in front yards and on nature strips, often joining to give welcome shade on a warm day.



Colourful flowers were not prolific as most gardens sported bushes, shrubs and trees.



An area of Gazania Daisies gave a brilliant splash of yellow, while a more subtle white rose was also attention getting.





A display of Canna Lilies really stood out with their background in shadow, as did a sword lily in full sun.





Unusual items in gardens always catch the eye and Lee-Ann Crescent provided several. What seemed like a toy village from the distance, manifested as several model trucks lined up along the footpath. They were radio controlled models belonging to Stephen, who proudly posed behind then with his remote controller in hand.


What looked like a UFO that had just landed in a front yard turned out to be a UNO, a unidentified non-flying object.


Rexy, the friendly bear, looked happy in his little elevated home surrounded by some of his friends.


Nearby, probably a cousin, was attached to a tree trunk watching all who passed.


A few people were out and about despite the quite warm sunshine.




With it being agapanthus flowering season, some very nice displays were evident, including a patriotic group.




A particularly interesting display was a line outside the front fence and the nature strip a sea of agapanthus.


I was pleased to see a few picket fences with a couple of uninteresting escapees. There was one desperate escapee, escaping through a paling fence.




Birds were few and far between, despite the many trees available for them to sit in. A magpie was the only one to avail themselves of the facility. Several noisy miners and a lone sulphur crested cockatoo performed a fly by.


One of the nicest gardens I have seen was a lovely landscaped one with flowers and shrubs and a few steps leading through to a lych gate. It was in this garden that the UFO had landed.


A gum tree was about to burst into flower and a Kangaroo Paw showed there was beauty in simplicity.




Lee-Ann has a lot to show you and welcomes wheelchairs as any slopes are gentle. Several speed-humps slow passing traffic making it a very quiet and safe walk.
