Leura, along with most of the older settlements in the mountains is replete with "exotic" trees which colour beautifully in Autumn (unlike the evergreen native forests which encircle us).
Yeh fancy stone fences abound along this street. Sorenson, a landscape architect, did some amazing stone fences in the mountains. Having a Sorenson garden is "the thing" around Leura and there are plenty of others that have followed his ideas.
The top picture at this link is an example of his stonework http://bluemountainsjournal.blogspot.com.au/2009/11/stone-walls.html
I agree Leura does have a Mt Macedon feel about it.
Whoa - that is one fancy fence.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of those at Mt Macedon in Vic.

Great colours and fresh air!
DeleteOh I love that holey stone wall on your link.
DeleteBy exotic, I gather they are nowt but big weeds.
ReplyDeleteYes, according to some (but not me)
