This drive meanders from Wonga Road to Kalinda Road for about 900 metres.


The Wonga Road end has two fenced retarding basins on the north side. The basins are heavily vegetated with trees and shrubs and offer a verdant outlook for local residents.


Colourful flowers soon came into view. Not seen much these days were some very colourful pansies and geraniums as were a mass planting of red flowers.






Trees were a feature of this drive, both on nature strips and in front yards.


A mailbox and garden lamp contrasted nicely with an autumn tree in the background, making autumn a good time for street walks.


Looking up often pays dividends with birds silently sitting on overhead wires watching the world go by. A magpie and a spotted dove fitted this category.




Wattles are starting to bloom and bottle brushes never seem to go away, although they do have a long flowering season.




Several walkers were encountered, with one walking his dog.




More floral specimens revealed themselves as an abelia bush, a polygala bush.




I have always associated fuchsias as a hanging basket flower, but the genus can include shrubs and small trees. One of the small trees was encountered with a mass of hanging fuchsia blooms. A delight to see.


Along the way, a pathway leads to a large unnamed park containing a small playground and some old growth pine trees. The park has other paths leading to other surrounding streets.




It has large areas of grass and several corellas were feeding in that grass.


A miniature windmill was a feature in one garden and a lion plaque broke up the starkness of a brick wall.




I was pleased to find a lychgate on one property, set into a white wooden fence and a tall hedge.


Cotoneaster trees with their red berries area are a very popular garden tree and the convolvulus ground cover plants do look nice.




A lasiandra and a camellia tree were other colourful blooms vying for our attention.




It's a nice walk, a little undulating, but a walk through the park will extend your enjoyment.
