A water rill runs around the garden adding gentle movement and setting the tone. A sunken lawn feels protective and is surrounded by interesting perennials and exotics. Bluestone cobbles, a floating cantilevered architectural structure and patterns taken from iconic Australian buildings all provide a nod to this garden's homeland. The entrance to the garden is flanked by two large specimen Banksia, each 1.5-2m (5-6ft) tall and under planted with Acacia glaucoptera and A. 'limelight'. Throughout the borders exciting exotic specimen plants such as Leucadendron, Acacia, and Protea feature adding height while more traditional European perennials lend a supporting role in tones of purple, white, pink and soft red.
