blackwood and gardens of st. erth


Sights in the main drag of the country town of Blackheath in Victoria included these wombats on a roof. The owner of the Two Fat Wombats created these wonderful animals. Not to mention the dog below. There was a pig in boots leaning up against an outside bar drinking an ale (albeit through a straw) at the bar next door and a few other creatures were about town too. Not to mention bits of garden merging into the street scape.



The Gardens of St Erth are just out of town and were looking marvellously green after all the summer rains (which are now flooding parts of Victoria not so far away)



This is part of the vege garden -






I didn't take many photos in the main garden but this plant is amazing:




Will try and make it a stitching post next - I have heaps of flower (and cactus) photos and will work on a sample in the next coupl of weeks.
Take care

  1. I hope you are high & dry. This looks like a place that might be seriously under water right now. Agree, that spiky plant is something. Inspiration?
