This 700-metre undulating boulevard is a no-through road running off Swansea Road. There are no footpaths, but the grassy verges are well mowed and make a pleasant walk and easy viewing of the many floral examples in the gardens.


Flowers are the dominant sight on this walk with numerous specimens to delight flower lovers. Orange milkwort and everlastings stood out with their yellow blooms.




A yellow rose was the most attractive rose seen, along with an early azalea.


Some modern metal fences allowed views through them. A lychgate was an added attraction.


Small examples of an abelia, anemone, bear tongue and a Chinese fringe flower made an attractive viewing.

Only two grevillea bushes were seen and a nice bunch of gum nuts, along with a banksia bush represented native flora.




Several magpies were in gardens, in trees or perched on fences. A noisy miner was almost hidden within a tree and a crested pigeon perched on overhead wires. Several birdbaths catered for their water needs.





Petunias and a sea lavender bush have similar hues, but not so with several examples of the salvia genus.






One treed garden had a swing hanging from it. Several dogs were heard but only seen through wooden gates.


A row of flower pots on steps was interesting as was an agapanthus growing out from a bush with orange berries.


A luculia bush, paper daisy, polygala flower and a hebe bush made a nice combination, as did the crepe myrtle, fox glove and agapanthus.




Some interesting garden ornaments were observed. A pot plant urn, an owl, a Chinese warrior metal globe and an elephant. A statue of Buddha was surrounded by garden lights.




There are many varieties in the lily family. Two seen were some Peruvian lilies and a fortnight lily.


Daisies and geraniums looked attractive as did five unidentified plants.




Not many roses to smell, but many other colourful flowers to admire.
